Welcome to volume 8 issue 9 of Monthly Mineral Chronicles. This is a publication pulled together by a mineral collector for mineral collectors.
This month, in this 63 page full-colour issue we have the following articles:
- Locality Snippet – Heathcote, Victoria, Australia. This month, we visit an area near where I live, best known for its gold, but also an area rich in antimony minerals.
- Detective Work on a Rare Mineral. This month, Rolf tells us about the process he undertook to determine the validity of the occurrence of the rare mineral, neyite.
- Minerals and Elements: Tin, an element that’s an indispensable component of our digital and technological world.
- Mineral Snippet – Titanite, a mineral (un)surprisingly containing the element titanium.
- Illustrated Minerals of Australia Volume 5, Part 4 – Margarite to Mawbyite.
- Colour and Colours of Minerals. Noel gives us the lowdown on all things colour.
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.
