Now these are good good pictures that do justice to a number of super gemstones and mineral specimens from the USA! _________________ Renato Pagano |

John, and all friends on the Forum,
I've just received the latest, May/June 2010, issue of Rocks & Minerals magazine, which contains three and a half reprinted pages of photos from John White's excellent article "U.S. Gemstones: An Overview" which appeared in the Jan/Feb 2010 issue. I think the photos look superb this time, as they should have originally; I hope you'll be pleased with them this time around. I know that managing editor Marie Huizing and all of us associated with the magazine sincerely regret the original printing errors that caused the photos to look substandard, and on behalf of us all, I once again offer John our apology. Our thanks again go to John and to all those who contributed photographs to his fine article (Chip Clark, Tino Hammid, Bob Jones, Joe Nagel, Jeff Scovil, Wendell Wilson).
Sincerely, Pete Modreski |

Put my two cents in.
I just received the last issue of Rock & Minerals and as Pete Modreski point out, the former bad printings are reprinted and this time with a superb quality.
As far as I can remember is the first time that a mineralogical magazine reprint 4! pages with 16! images. Not only this, this issue of Rock & Minerals contains several very interesting articles, as the new nomenclature of the Apatite (again...sigh! ;-), an extended index of Illinois mineral locality, the notice of new Raspites in Erongo Mountains, some other wonderful articles, and the highlight : the "big brother" of one of the nicer topics of FMF, the Adalberto Giazotto Collection in Florence ( https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?t=762 )
Folks, this issue of Rock & Minerals is stupendous, buy it immediately! ;-)

Thanks, Jordi.
And regarding the article on apatite nomenclature, I think most all of us will be very pleased and relieved, that "ordinary" apatite is once again going to be fluorapatite.
Of course, if one wants the text of John White's U.S. gemstones article too, one would need to get a copy of the Jan-Feb issue as well. But one can also still download the text from the link John posted earlier,
https://www.rocksandminerals.org/Back%20Issues/2010/January-February%202010/US-gemstones-abstract.html
(the link says "abstract" but it really does contain the whole article.)
