' Includes Bibb, Columbia, Floyd, Houston, Polk, Richmond, and Walker Counties.

 
 Kaolin was mined by 18 companies from 28 mines in eight counties. Seven
companies produced fuller's earth from seven mines in four counties, and
14 companies mined miscellaneous clay in 10 counties. In all, clay was produced
by 37 companies with 52 operations in 19 counties. 
 
 Feldspar.—Flotation concentrate was produced by Feldspar Corp. at
its Monticello mill from feldspathic rock mined in Jasper County. ' Georgia
Marble Co. produced a feldspar-quartz flotation concentrate as a byproduct
of fines from granite crushing operations at Lithonia. The concentrate was
used for glass and pottery, and the feldspar-silica mixture for glass only.
Production and value of feldspar were again higher than in the previous year.

 Gypsum.—Imported crude gypsum was calcined at three plants for use
in manufacturing wallboard and other building products. 
 
 Kyanite.—Production of kyanite increased over 27 percent; its principal
use was in refractories. 
 
 Lime.—Six firms, principally pulp and paper companies, in Camden,
Chatham, Glynn, Lowndes, Richmond, and Wayne Counties regenerated lime. A
total of 355,000 tons, valued at $6.7 million, was recovered by burning calcium
carbonate sludge in rotary kilns. The lime was used in manufacturing processes.

 
 Mica.—Scrap mica was produced in Cherokee, Hart, and Jasper Counties.
