Monthly Mineral Chronicles Volume 7 Issue 11

Welcome to volume 7 issue 11 of Monthly Mineral Chronicles. This is a publication pulled together by a mineral collector for mineral collectors.

This month, in this 61 page full-colour issue we have the following articles:

  • Locality Snippet – Grey Horse Mine, Pinal Co., Arizona. This month, we look at a mine that has produced some very nice vanadium mineral specimens.
  • Quartz Crystals from a Farmer’s Field in Saltville, Virginia. This month, Rolf tells us about a collection of quartz crystals where over 1,000 would fit in a one quart jar.
  • Minerals and Elements: Yttrium – The next in the series, yttrium, a member of the Rare Earth elements.
  • Mineral Snippet – Hematite, a mineral known since antiquity and a major ore of iron.
  • Illustrated Minerals of Australia Volume 4, Part 3 – Kasolite to Koechlinite. The next installment of a significant undertaking documenting the 1,500 or so mineral species recorded in Australia.
  • The Waverley Gem and Mineral Club Show.

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.
