Monthly Mineral Chronicles Volume 8 Issue 8

Welcome to volume 8 issue 8 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:

  • Illustrated Minerals of Australia Volume 5, Part 3 – Malanite to Marcasite.
  • Locality Snippet – Searles Lake, California, an area where evaporite minerals, which form the bulk of Searles Lake’s deposits, originate from the precipitation of dissolved mineral ions from saline solutions.
  • The Mascot Mine, Gorham, New Hampshire. Rolf tells us about some interesting secondary minerals from an old abandoned lead, zinc and copper mine.
  • Minerals and Elements: Indium
  • Mineral Snippet – Andradite – a mineral of incredible contrasts with a history connected to both Russian Czars and Victorian mourning.

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.
