…is now available here.

This month, in this 63 page full-colour issue we have the following articles:

  • Locality Snippet – Heathcote, Victoria, Australia. This month, we visit an area near where I live, best known for its gold, but also an area rich in antimony minerals.
  • Detective Work on a Rare Mineral. This month, Rolf tells us about the process he undertook to determine the validity of the occurrence of the rare mineral, neyite.
  • Minerals and Elements: Tin, an element that’s an indispensable component of our digital and technological world.
  • Mineral Snippet – Titanite, a mineral (un)surprisingly containing the element titanium.
  • Illustrated Minerals of Australia Volume 5, Part 4 – Margarite to Mawbyite.
  • Colour and Colours of Minerals. Noel gives us the lowdown on all things colour.
