The Rock H. Currier Digital LibraryLooking for reference material on https://www.mindat.org/loc-185955.html

Hi.  I'm researching a locality in mindat called Crystal Peak in La Paz County, Arizona.  The mindat locality shows several references.   I've tried to research the first two references (shown below)  and I can't seem to find them in the digital library and I also have been unable to find them in electronic format on the internet.  Perhaps I'm using the library incorrectly, or perhaps the references are available electronically.  Does anyone have any insights or other ideas?  Thank you.  

Ref.: Sinkankas, J. (1959), Gemstones of North America, Volume 1: 375.

Peirce, H.Wesley (1969), Gem Materials, in USGS & Arizona Bureau of Mines & US Bureau of Reclamation, Mineral and Water Resources of Arizona, Arizona Bureau of Mines Bull. 180 (USGS Bull.871): 359.

Thank you David.  This ticks one off my list.  Of note, this citation also references   Sinkankas Gemstones of North America, Volume 1: 375 as well so I think I still need to chase down that one.  Hoping I don't have to buy access to a 63 year old book to see what it says... Thanks again

You might want to try and access it via a library.
I would guess it isn't too much more detailed.

The place name (a lesser metropolis...) mentioned in Sinkankas in Arizona is actually Quartzsite, not Quartzite (a rock name).
