What is the policy of adding unidentified minerals?
I added a sub locality to Saint Pierre de Broughton today since I thought it would add to the knowledge of the local geology. There is a mineral that I found there that is attractive, however I have not been able to identify it yet. Since it was a new discovery I though it might be significant. What is the policy for unidentified minerals? I have been photo documenting a lot of unidentifieds and am hoping to get them identified at some point. However I think unidentified minerals that appear to be different from the common minerals should have theri accurate source noted and recorded.

Good suggestion Uwe, but can photos uploaded as ``other`` in this manner be unnaproved as well as being approved....
Most seasoned members are aware of the identity help forum, but some newbies aren`t. Eventually someone will direct them to the right place to inquire. Like Wayne has suggested.
Please don`t take offense Fred I am not suggesting you are a ``newbie``, just using the term in general context, reflecting on your thread.
