Improving Mindat.orgUpdate on list of minerals from the Bou Azzer district

6th Dec 2007 10:45 UTCGeorges Favreau Manager

Hello,

Just a few words to help keep the mineral list from Bou Azzer updated:


1 - pyroaurite was analyzed (XRD, Paolo Orlandi, Pisa) and is no longer questionable (we still have not confirmed sjögrenite)


2 - it is possible to add a new mineral: smithsonite from Taghouni. The specimens were tested using HCl. Not a big deal, but new for the place.


3 - we did not find arthurite in Khder, this was cobaltarthurite ("arthurite" can be removed from list)


4 - bendadaite was found in Oumlil East (analyses by A. Kampf. Not published yet, Uwe knows).


5 - the picture 134852 is a vanadinite on barite certainly from Mibladen. Vanadinite should be removed from the list, as it was introduced due to this sole picture.


I hope this helps.

Georges.
