- Minerals and Elements: Arsenic – The next in the series, arsenic, a very toxic and potent poison.
- Mineral Snippet – Botallackite, a mineral that was thought to be a variety of atacamite for almost a hundred years.

Again this month, for many of the excellent images, is the ability to click on the image to bring up a larger version. Not only do you get a bigger version, but in some cases, the image you see published may be a cropped version.
