| ⓘ Anhydrite Formula: CaSO4 |
| ⓘ Baryte Formula: BaSO4 |
| ⓘ Calcite Formula: CaCO3 |
| ⓘ Diamond Formula: C Description: In 1902, W.S. Blatchley (p. 46) reported that a diamond was found in a creek bed a few miles south of the city of Cleveland in the late 20th century. According to Blatchley, the diamond was then taken to a Boston jeweler and was cut and sold for an estimated $40,000 (adjusted for inflation the diamond would have been worth well over a million United States dollars). Gunn (1968, p. 302) cited the same information as Blatchley (1902), but mentioned that the diamond was found around 1870 in his catalog of drift diamonds found in the Great Lakes Region.
In an article for the Ohio Geology Newsletter, Hansen (1982, p. 2) cited that the “Cleveland Diamond” was found “about 1870” in a stream bed “about 4 miles south of Cleveland”, placing it near Big Creek, in the “Old Brooklyn” neighborhood of Cleveland, close to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. Hansen also reported that diamond wasn’t sold for an estimated $40,000 dollars in Boston, but rather $10,000 dollars. Hansen (1982) did not cite where he received his “corrected information” other than Gunn (1968). |

| ⓘ Pyrite Formula: FeS2 Localities: Reported from at least 9 localities in this region. Description: Pyrite occurs as nodules up to two inches in diameter. Small xls up to three mm occur in clusters. These xls are well-formed show combinations of octahedral and pyritohedron formations. Nodules are almost pure pyrite occasionally with a thin layer of shal |
