Post Tucson Update #2
A selection of new minerals from the Tucson show. As more and more mines turn to increasingly modern mining methods, interesting new material seems to decrease-- yet if you are willing to look around, there are always plenty of cool and unusual new items to be found in Tucson.
Some highlights included here: a specimen of dingdaohengite from a new locality in Malawi with mineralization very similar to Mt. Malosa, Chinese chalcophyllite and analcime, Peruvian pseudomorphs of topaz (!) after augelite, and a brand new pocket of very rich hutchinsonite specimens.
