Can you help make this a better article? What good localities have we missed? Can you supply pictures of better specimens than those we show here? Can you give us more and better information about the specimens from these localities? Can you supply better geological or historical information on these localities?

There are photos from Allchar and Mercur in the Lorandite gallery.

Yes Alfredo, How can you be so lazy as to have not included these? OH, I can hear you think, not as lazy as the person who didn't put them in who started the project. Of course you are right.
