Welcome to volume 8 issue 10 of Monthly Mineral Chronicles. This is a publication pulled together by a mineral collector for mineral collectors.
This month, in this 74 page full-colour issue we have the following articles:
- Milpillas Mine, Sonora, Mexico. This month, Rolf tells us about the very first of the Milpillas azurites reaching the United States.
- Minerals and Elements: Antimony. The next in the series, antimony, an element that was used as ancient dark eyeliner.
- Mineral Snippet – Sphalerite. The single most important ore of zinc.
- Illustrated Minerals of Australia Volume 5, Part 5 – Mawsonite to Melonite.
- Australasian Mining History Association (AMHA) Conference. A report on the AMHA conference held in Broken Hill.
- Locality Snippet – Locality Snippet – Singer Mine, Goodsprings, Nevada, USA. This month, we visit a historic mining operation that has produced a range of interesting Cu, Cr, Pb, and Zn secondary minerals.
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.
