Hi Pierre and Riccardo,
My replies to your messages somehow came to be included in the same posting. Not sure how that happened. I'm still learning how to use the FMF features.
Best wishes,
Tim

Hi everyone. My name is Barry Vincent and I've just joined up and have already contributed to several threads including an inquiry concerning Dana's Textbook of Mineralogy.
I'm an amateur Mineralogist and I"m also a member of the New South Wales Mineralogical Society. I often take part in field trips around the state with this group at times.
My other interests are musical performance and the teaching of music theory. (I play Recorder/Flute/ Oboe and Clarinet).
My mineralogical and petrographic collection is mainly of a 'study grade ' quality but do have a few higher grade specimens. Other than going out into the field collecting I also often purchase specimens from eBay as well as from gem and mineral shows that are organized throughout the state (NSW)

Welcome Barry. Will you be at this weekend's seminar in Sydney? If yes, I will meet you there.

| Hello Crocoite. No I will not be at the seminar in Sydney even though I only live 2 (3) hours train journey north between Newcastle and Maitland.

Greetings by Riccardo.

|

Greetings to my fellow friends of minerals.
My name is Bruce Stark, and am currently mining 2 crocoite leases in the Dundas mineral field of Tasmania.
I am mining at the Adelaide mine, and my own lease, the Platt mine. And to be clear, it's an exciting time around here right now. That's one of the reasons I have joined this forum.
My mineral interest started early. My Dad was a collector from his days of working at the Renison tin mine, just a rifle shot from my Platt lease. Some of the best times I had as a kid, was fossicking trips to the opal fields in NSW & QLD. I guess that is what led me to a working life of mineral exploration and mining in Tasmania for the last 24 years. That's a lot of walking and expert local knowledge folks!
So I guess I have a lot I can share. to those who are interested in the minerals that come from this odd anomaly on the western side of Mt. Dundas.
The other major point of me joining this forum, is to thank John Cornish for his tremendous story and pics of The River Find at the Adelaide mine. We've had John down here a couple of times now...sure was fun!
Cheers
Bruce

I agree, John's posts have been an incredible look at the work and reward of this deposit.
And as beautiful as the crocoite is, the story written in the fingers of the hand in the image speak volumes! I look forward to it's unfolding. Thanks, Vic
