Connecticut has its fair share of highly profitable rock formations – formations that have provided valuable minerals, gemstones and building materials over the centuries. They’re strategically hidden in geologic settings all over the state. In fact, the first “gold strike” east of the Mississippi River was in Connecticut. There are gemstones and rare minerals named after several CT towns – and minerals that are only found in CT. Cannon balls for our early wars were smelted in Connecticut’s NW hills. There’s a fascinating story to be told about one mine that has provided architectural elegance to the Statue of Liberty, Grand Central Station, the Brooklyn Bridge and many more iconic New York City structures. Five guests contribute to this episode – the 50th since Amazing Tales CT began.
