Tourmaline and the Rich Legacy of Mining at Mount Mica ...
Mount Mica is located about a mile east of Paris in Oxford County. Gem-quality tourmaline was discovered there in 1821 and was intermittently produced through the late 1970s. A new phase of tourmaline mining began when Gary and Mary Freeman, owners and operators of Coromoto Minerals, LLC, acquired the Mount Mica property in 2003.
