Welcome to volume 9 issue 4 of Monthly Mineral Chronicles. This is a publication pulled together by a mineral collector for mineral collectors.

This month, in this 64 page full-colour issue we have the following articles:

  • Minerals and Elements: Hafnium – an element used in Nuclear Control Rods amongst other things.
  • Mineral Snippet – Olivenite – A copper arsenate named for its most common colour.
  • Illustrated Minerals of Australia Volume 5, Part 11 – Montroseite to Mushistonite.
  • Locality Snippet – Mt Cleveland Mine, Luina, Tasmania – What was Australia’s second largest tin producer when it was in operation in the 1980s.
  • Lost Prospect in the Peeples Valley, Arizona

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.

I hope you continue to enjoy the journey.
