PhotosAnatase - Piatta Grande, Sondalo, Sondrio Province, Lombardy, Italy

Anatase
Schisarolo Valley, Madesimo, Sondrio Province, Lombardy, Italy
Copyright © Chinellato Matteo
For sure the color of this Anatase crystal is typical for Schisarolo Valley and the shape itself is typical for the best specimens from Schisarolo Valley. In the sense that only a few samples found there have that nice and complex habits, the majority having instead only the "conventional" acute dipyramidal habit.


BUT... Schisarolo valley is close to the Spuga Pass, near Chiavenna and has nothing to do neither with Piatta Grande neither with Sondalo.


Therefore my suggestion is to kindly move the photo under: Schisarolo Valley, Spluga Valley, Sondrio Province, Lombardy, Italy, the correct locality, which was probably created only after the posting of the mentioned photo.


Cheers

Thanks. I will ask Matteo, as soon as he replies we will move accordingly :)

13th Nov 2013 11:59 UTCMatteo Chinellato Expert

is good ask to Domenico, for me is not a problem

Certo Paolo ha ragione, ma nel momento del post della foto di anatasio mi pare non ci fosse la scheda della località che indica il Biffi.

Quindi per me va bene...(Chris se cortesemente vuoi tradurre in un buon inglese fai pure...grazie)

ciao

si si avevo specificato che : "the correct locality, .... was probably created only after the posting of the mentioned photo",


non faccio quindi nessun appunto a Matteo nè a Domenico che anzi ringrazio per aver specificato la località Schisarolo Valley nella legenda della foto.


Mi sa che quel campione lì te l'ha dato Francesco o qualcuno del suo giro, perchè fatti così, così belli, se n'è visti pochi.

per non parlare della foto, da brivido..

14th Nov 2013 17:01 UTCChris Mavris Manager

Se qualcuno chiederà, tradurrò in inglese. Intanto modifico la foto :) Grazie a tutti!

14th Nov 2013 17:04 UTCChris Mavris Manager

Matteo, mi puoi dire la dimensione del campione (e NON del cristallo)? Non riesco ad apportare le modifiche necessarie senza questi dati...

14th Nov 2013 19:40 UTCMatteo Chinellato Expert

non lo so minimamente, io prendo la misura solo del cristallo

15th Nov 2013 09:14 UTCPaolo Giovanni Biffi

Il campione dovrebbe essere ancora nella collezione di Domenico, chiediamo a lui.


Lo avviso

Hi Cris


after a PM with Domenico, ...il campione misura 1.5 cm

.. then the move can be done..
