• Locality Snippet – Clay Center, Ohio. This month, we visit a dolomite quarry in Ohio that has produced specimens of fluorite and celestite, and has been active since the 1800s.

• Jasper Find near Sedona, Arizona. This month, Rolf takes us to two localities where rocks meet dog walking!

• Minerals and Elements: Krypton - The next in the series, never-reactive krypton.
