MINERALS YEARBOOK, 1967 
 
lowing purposes: Concrete aggregate and roadstone (61 percent), furnace flux
(10 percent), agricultural purposes (2 percent), railroad ballast (1 percent),
and for other uses (26 percent) including cement and lime manufacture, riprap,
and limestone dust for coal mines. 
 Dimension stone decreased 13 percent in tonnage but increased 13 percent
in value over that of 1966 due to the greater value per ton placed on such
items as 
blackboards, structural and sanitary ware, roofing slate, and building stone.
Slate accounted for 31 percent of the dimension stone and 67 percent of its
value with sandstone accounting for almost 50 percent of the tonnage and
only a little less than 25 percent of the value. Northampton County was the
leading stone producer in the State, followed by Montgomery, Adams, Centre,
York, Lancaster, and Berks Counties.
