The colorful graphic shown above is part of U-Haul Corporation’s “Venture Across America” program, in which pictorial images (“SuperGraphics”) of various natural wonders and historic sites throughout the United States are displayed on the sides of U-Haul trucks.  This particular image is the 94th SuperGraphic created by U-Haul and shows a miner holding two brilliantly fluorescent ore samples from the Franklin and Sterling Hill mines in New Jersey. The number “94” is visible within the image. This SuperGraphic was applied to 600 to 800 trucks of U-Haul’s year 2000 fleet and is intended to inspire interest in New Jersey’s mining heritage.

 

"Did you know

 Found only in a small mining district of New Jersey is an extraordinarily rare composition of fluorescent mineral ores.  What makes the geochemistry of these deposits completely unique on earth?”
