Australian Journal of Mineralogy

Mineral Matters #381

The latest edition of the Australian Journal of Mineralogy (AJM) volume 25 number 1 magazine has arrived. I have three photos in it 😁

The AJM is published in full colour twice a year. This issue is 56 pages long and includes the following articles:

• Chinnerite, a new penriceite-related mineral, from the Penrice Marble Quarry, South Australia. Given its relationship to penriceite (which alters to chinnerite at temperatures over 40°), and to elliottite and tomsquarryite, if you have any of those species, you could also have chinnerite.

• Dendritic baryte crystals from Waiwera, Auckland Region, New Zealand.

• Epidote from Green Monster Mountain, Prince of Wales Island, Alaska, USA.

• Photo essay: Epidote from the Craig Bosel collection.

• Book review: Rocks, Fossils and Formations - Discoveries through time.

• Mineral of the Year - 2022.

• A tribute to Terry Huizing.

• The 2023 Joint Mineralogical Societies of Australasia Seminar Report.

• From the archives - Marshite.

Subscriptions available here.
