So: "Dale Mine foot workings, Mallerstang, North Pennines, Westmorland, Cumbria, England, United Kingdom"?
are you sure this is correct?
Also, please in the captions use the weight as "grams" better than "g" and please locate it in the "File Comment" field, not in the "Dimensions (cm or mm)" field. Thank you.

It is not my intention to correct anybody, but according to the International System of Units (SI), the symbol for gram is a single letter "g" (without any trailing period except in the end of a sentence or a paragraph).
I can read in the Wikipedia that A bigger mistake is using the abbreviation "gr" for grams. The symbol "gr" stands for grains (which is equal to 64.79891 mg).
I hope this could help.

Thank you Carles.
I already changed my own message ;-) -> https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?p=41267#41267 and now is:
"Also, please in the captions use the weight as "grams" better than "g" and please locate it in the "File Comment" field, not in the "Dimensions (cm or mm)" field. Thank you."
