In fact ice is a mineral species like any other. A grandfathered one according to the IMA list ( https://pubsites.uws.edu.au/ima-cnmnc/MINERALlist.pdf ). Although it is difficult to imagine a collector with a showcase full of ice crystals at home, unless he/she lives in an igloo in the Antarctica, or on a moon of Jupiter. Who knows?

:-)

But Carles is absolutely right: Ice, eventhough it is only crystalline at low temperatures, IS a mineral - if a mineral is a solid, anorganic chemical compound with a certain chemical composition and a crystalline structure (and i think this is the definition). The fact that ii melts when the temperature is above 0°C does not exclude it from the minerals: Just think of mercury which is also liquid at "normal" temperatures. And finally, every mineral has a temperature where it melts. Some need thousands of °C, ice needs some less ;-)

Having read what Carles and Tobias wrote I had a bit of a google around and found this

(link normalized by FMF)

lots of Low Temperature SEM photos of snow, I never realised there was so much variation, I especially liked the photos of Martian CO2 ice.

Hi to everybody!
I think there is nothing to discuss: if you read the "Glossary of Mineral Species" (you all should know what I'm talking about, I don't quote the author and the editing firm otherwise it seems to be an advertisement), the name "Ice" is reported with its chemical formula (H2O) and the crystal system (hexagonal).
Therefore our friend Nurbo DID photograph minerals when photographing ice crystals! And personally I liked those photos.

Hi Riccardo !

Nobody discussed such thing. As you can read above, even the IMA considers officially that ice is a mineral species. But it is not one of my favorites so I'm not going to spend my hard earned money to purchase a good specimen and keep it in my showcases.

And for some smart dealers to put the crystals on sale, either on matrix or without.

Hi Carles and hi to everybody!
Ok it's not worthy to spend money and time for purchasing an ice crystal, but it is worthy to take a picture of it as Nurbo did. And moreover we are this way sure it will never ever melt! Hahahaha!!!

Some more from my collection, firstly my current favourite Kidney Ore, what can I say? its a stunner, from the Frizington Parks mine workings, so it could be from the New Parkside Mine, like many of the West Cumberland Iron Ore Field localities, they link up underground and the given localities are merely the mine entrance they came out of,.these places were like Swiss cheese, holes everywhere and many of them connected to each other, the miners would gather specimens wherever they thought they could make a Quid and label them from the mine they worked at, rather than the mine they had pinched them from. (Sorry Louis :-) )
On the subject of Swiss Cheese the second photo is of a Malachite blob on an undefined matrix from a mine near to Barras End in North Yorkshire, this area has so many mines in such a small area Id say its impossible to be totally accurate as to which specific mine this piece came from, they all worked the same ore body so it doesnt really matter.

PostPosted: May 27, 2012 14:53    Post subject: Re: Collection of Nurbo  

One thing that never ceases to amaze me is just how wierd the Quartz can be from the Cumberland Iron Ore Fields!! This particular sample is from the Frizington Parks/New Parkside mine area. I always wonder why the Quartz in these pieces is so unusual, its such a strange blend of forms. Some of the crystals are skeletal whilst others are kind of platy and elsewhere you will find normal Cumberland habit crystals, but all in vugs on the same piece of matrix, its unusual stuff indeed. If anyones got any knowledge of why the Quartz in this area sometimes looks like this Id be really interested to know..

Here are the photos of the piece from the "A Short Question on Epitaxy" thread, as I said Im not sure this is epitaxy, in fact it probably isnt, but the idea of similarly structured minerals in epitaxial formation is one Im still not completely sure I understand, but then there is much I dont understand about minerals and probably never will, otherwise mineral collecting would be boring.. Whatever it is, its a great example of some the minerals which form at that great man made scar on the planet that is Pike Law.

Oh well I thought there might be some opinions about the above piece.

Here are 2 new additions, first up is a stunning Dry Gill Plumbogummite with Mimetite which would trim into a killer thumbnail, thing is that sugary Quartz matrix takes a lot of breaking and Im too paranoid Id damage the Plumbo, also the reverse has a really interesting mineral sandwich, a layer of Mimetite with Plumbo on top with a Manganese Oxide on that which is (to me anyway) very interesting indeed.

Then another Witherite from Haggs. This piece has the classic Haggs surface alteration to Baryte but still retains the Witherite underneath,

Here we have a wonderful Victorian forgery, I wish I knew what kind of glue they used, its lasted over 100 years and is still holding fast, locals would glue these large Apatites onto Carrock Mine matrix and sell them to unsuspecting visitors, interesting to know that mineral frauds were going on back in those days.

Then Fluorite coloured by Haematite inclusions from the Florence Mine, which is now doing quite well as a media centre, where they have comedy shows, live music and run events as diverse as upholstery and film making, well done Gilbert for keeping the dream alive.

FInally today a European classic, gemmy blue Kyanite from Switzerland, there are a number of micro crystals which are brown, I assume from hunting around the interweb that they are Staurolite, but Im not sure..

I really love the way the Florence piece has no Eisenkiesel present.

I just thought Id add my favourite self collected Baryte, this piece came from a huge chunk I found which was actually in the beck itself and heavily stained, it took a lot of treatment to clean it up to the level it now shows. but then I think the whole issue of mineral treatments is immensely hypocrytical.

In my usual untimely manner here are some close ups of the Calcite from the Stank mine, the one that appears on the john Betts mineral museum site. As I said I regard the inclusions as some kind of Manganese Oxide, likely Pyrolusite, (its very hard to get a good image as the pyrolusite, whoops, unknown, is below the surface and my stupid digital camera seems to focus on the nearest focal point)
