LOOKING FOR DIRECT AS POSSIBLE ACCESS TO BOY GERSTLEY BORATE? I DO NOT
KNOW WHERE ALL IT IS MINED.
David Hendley on fri 26 sep 97
All American borax and boron materials come from the Death Valley Area in
California.
Remember the 20 Mule Team?
"Gerstley Borate" refers to a specific mine, named after James Gerstley, a
former president or officer of U. S. Borax.
Quoting from a U. S. Borax memo, the mine is "located just north of
Shoshone, CA, or about 24 miles south of Death Valley Junction on Rt. 127."
U. S. Borax operates out of Boron, California.
They have a great borax museum there, at the corner of Boron St. and 20
Mule Team Blvd., that will tell you more than you ever wanted to know about
G. B.
