|

Barcelona 01/03/2017
Great addition just recently published by the great Tom Moore from the not less good Mineralogical Record in the excellent What’s New in the Mineral World? section which time to time referencing on line the novelties that appear in the different web pages as well as in the mineral Shows.
As you will see below the Tom's text is very instructive. It will be one of my guides during my stay in Tucson!
Here you have this so helpful mini-guide published in the bottom of the What’s New in the Mineral World? - Report #45

|
|
Adam Wright and Erika Aheimer arrived in Tucson today and unpacked the new Adelaide Mine crocoite shipment for the 2017 Tucson Show. The new item this year is wonderful crocoite with dundasite from the "under the red river" zone. It appears to be a one time find and was hit on October 12, 2016 in time to be collected, cleaned and mounted for shipment for this year's show. Some photos follow.
Also found this year were two excellent cerussite specimen - delicate and complete. An amazing collecting success to get these out. Photos follow.
Enjoy,
bob

here's a better photo of that large crocoite with dundasite specimen - this is from the Adelaide Mine web site - much better than I could do.
