Here's another puzzle:

[attachment 45503 Rhabdophane-Ce1b.jpg]

The specimen list that came with the unlabeled micromineral rough said that rhabdophane-(Ce) would be found as "creme fibres xls". That certainly matches the above image. Can anyone who has seen rhabdophane-(Ce) from Krufter Ofen confirm this ID?

Danke!

Hi Rui,
I’ll notify again the other managers... to check the log files to see which IP address(es) clicks so often – I had already reminded them...
Could it have something to do with Facebook? (I noticed a Facebook link is in the photo caption).

Dear (one Mindat Admin),
My photo, please note "my photo" [www.mindat.org] yesterday had about a maximum of 200/250 views but today it has 935 views! Someone is trying to get some confusion again. What should I do? Can you please fix the existing photo in the front page (or other) to avoid any further confusion?
Thank you very much

I appreciate that change the picture that was on front page [www.mindat.org]

I was there in 1994 and don't remember that part of the trail. I recall I found the garnets before Marpha, so lower down the valley.

To the other guys, if interested, read on:
Jean-Marie: Actually, there are lots of schists and gneisses with garnet but without kyanite. Kyanite has a pretty limited pressure-temperature-stability field while garnet doesn't. But you may know that already.

Mike: Then you may remember the part of the hike not too far from Jomsom where the trail/road is wedged in the rock walls (where the name "gorge" is well justified). That's where they are. In pretty much all the outcrops with kyanite, it is not as obvious as garnet. I came upon a freshly broken surface that showed the blades nicely. Otherwise I may have walked past them, too.

Jose: I fully agree with you. All the material on the market sure is from Jajarkot.

Relating nomenclature, I just revised a political map and the border between Mustang District and Myagdi District, both into Dhaulagiri Zone, cross the Kali Gandaki Gorge by half. Then, northern part af the gorge is in Mustang and southern part belongs to Myagdi.

After all, my proposition for Kali Gandaki Gorge locality page is:
- Change the nomenclature of the locality from "Kali Gandaki Gorge (Kali Gandaki river region; Andha Galchi), Annapurna Sanctuary (Annapurna Himal), Dhawalagiri (Dhaulagiri) Zone, Nepal" to "Kali Gandaki Gorge, Myagdi and Mustang Districts, Dhaulagiri Zone, Nepal".
- Leave kyanite as it is, and add almandine and muscovite.]]> Jose Zendrera Localities Sun, 05 May 2013 15:57:06 +0000 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,105,292902,293130#msg-293130 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,105,292902,293130#msg-293130 Mike Keim Localities Sun, 05 May 2013 14:59:23 +0000 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,105,292902,293126#msg-293126 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,105,292902,293126#msg-293126 I did not trek in the valley of the Kali Gandaki. If garnet is present, why not kyanite? There is a wide band of metamorphism along the mountains of the region ...
That said, I think it is best to separate the two areas 1. Dhaulagiri massif & 2.Annapurna massif.
The Annapurna Sanctuary is not part of the area of ​​Dhaulagiri is an obvious :)

Bonjour Andy ,
Je n'ai pas fait de trek dans la vallée de la Kali Gandaki . Si le grenat est présent , pourquoi pas aussi kyanite ? Il y a une large bande de métamorphisme qui longe les massifs montagneux de cette région...
Ceci dit , je crois qu'il est bien de séparer les deux localités 1. Dhaulagiri massif & 2. Annapurnas massif.
Le sanctuaire des Annapurnas ne fait pas partie de la zone du Dhaulagiri c'est une évidence !! :-)]]> Jean-Marie Claude Localities Sun, 05 May 2013 14:06:52 +0000 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,105,292902,293116#msg-293116 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,105,292902,293116#msg-293116 Andy]]> Andy Stucki (2) Localities Sun, 05 May 2013 12:24:53 +0000 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,105,292902,293115#msg-293115 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,105,292902,293115#msg-293115

This error also strongly troubled me for some time. But with my approximate English, I do not want to get into a complicated discussion.
In fact you should talk
  Annapurnas massif and Daulagiri massif.
  These two mountain ranges are separated by the Kali Gandaki River. The river has its source in the Annapurna Sanctuary is the Modi Khola, which is a tributary of the Kali Gandaki, it pours West Pokara.
I have not met on my trek kyanite (1998) and Pokara between the base camp, but I found red garnet (almandine?) In a small tributary of the Modi Khola, at about this Tadapani / Chomrung. This area is subject to metamorphism visible by the large amount of mica-schists. Highest to the peaks of the Annapurna and Machapucharre sedimentary sequence is present but is also slightly metamorphosed. I have a rock sample from the sanctuary with black beans, but hard to say what it is? Pyrite or other? Sample found on the surface so thirsty!
I'll post some other stories in a few days to make better known the unknown zone (but busy _LOL)
sincerely

Bonjour à tous
Je confirme " Annapurnas base camp " n' est pas dans dans Daulagiri zone. Cette erreur me troublait aussi fortement depuis quelques temps. Mais avec mon Anglais approximatif , je ne voulais pas entrer dans une discussion compliquée.
En fait il faudrait parler de
Annapurnas massif et Daulagiri Massif.
Ces deux chaines montagneuses sont séparées par la rivière Kali Gandaki. La rivière qui prend source dans le sanctuaire des Annapurnas est la Modi Khola , c'est un affluent de la Kali Gandaki , elle déverse à l'Ouest de Pokara.
Je n'ai pas rencontré cyanite sur mon trek (1998) entre Pokara et le camp de base, mais j'ai trouvé grenat rouge ( almandin? ) dans un petit affluent de la rivière Modi Khola ,ceci aux environ de Tadapani / Chomrung. Cette zone est l'objet d'un métamorphisme visible par la grande quantité de mica-schistes. Plus haut vers les sommets du Machapucharre et Annapurnas la série sédimentaire est présente mais est aussi un peu métamorphisée. J'ai un échantillon de roche provenant du sanctuaire avec des grains noirs , mais difficile de dire ce qu'il en est ? Pyrite ou autres ? Echantillon trouvé en surface donc altéré !
Je posterai quelques autres témoignages dans quelques jours pour mieux faire connaitre cette zone inconnue ( mais très fréquentée _LOL )
