This month, in this 68 page full-colour issue we have the following articles:

• Minerals and Elements: Selenium - The next in the series, selenium. Bad breath anyone?

• Mineral Snippet – Lévyne. This month, we look at the uncommon zeolite, lévyne, and the man that it was named after, Armand Lévy.

• Illustrated Minerals of Australia Volume 3, Part 13 – Ilsemannite to Ixiolite. The next installment of a significant undertaking documenting the 1,500 or so mineral species recorded in Australia.

• Locality Snippet – Boron, California. This month, we look at a locality that, unsurprisingly, has a lot of boron-bearing minerals. But did you know that there are zeolites too?

• Dean Richmond Mine Story. This month, Rolf investigates the origin of a batch of minerals once belonging to Richard Bideaux.
