Monthly Mineral Chronicles Volume 9 Issue 2

Welcome to volume 9 issue 2 of Monthly Mineral Chronicles. This is a publication pulled together by a mineral collector for mineral collectors.

This month, in this 65 page full-colour issue we have the following articles:

  • Locality Snippet – Kibblehouse Quarry, Pennsylvania, a quarry known for its cobalt minerals and zeolites.
  • Fools Gold in its Many Forms. Rolf gives us the lowdown on minerals that some people think are gold.
  • Minerals and Elements: Barium, an element essential for the extraction of hydrocarbons, the miniaturisation of consumer electronics, and much more.
  • Mineral Snippet – Childrenite, named after a keeper of Minerals at the British Museum of Natural History.
  • Illustrated Minerals of Australia Volume 5, Part 9 – Minium to Molybdenite.

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.
