Welcome to volume 7 issue 8 of Monthly Mineral Chronicles. This is a publication pulled together by a mineral collector for mineral collectors.
This month, in this 68 page full-colour issue we have the following articles:
- Minerals and Elements: Selenium – The next in the series, selenium. Bad breath anyone?
- Mineral Snippet – Lévyne. This month, we look at the uncommon zeolite, lévyne, and the man that it was named after, Armand Lévy.
- Illustrated Minerals of Australia Volume 3, Part 13 – Ilsemannite to Ixiolite. The next installment of a significant undertaking documenting the 1,500 or so mineral species recorded in Australia.
- Locality Snippet – Boron, California. This month, we look at a locality that, unsurprisingly, has a lot of boron-bearing minerals. But did you know that there are zeolites too?
- Dean Richmond Mine Story. This month, Rolf investigates the origin of a batch of minerals once belonging to Richard Bideaux.
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.
This issue is now available at Kofi.
