I'm trying to improve some labels and have a couple of questions.


1.) Are the mines at Trepca actually in Kosovo, or across the river in Serbia?

2.) I have a Leucite ps. Analcime that came simply labelled as Canada. Is there a likely more detailed locality?

3.) I have a Barite ps Witherite labelled Nentsbury Mine in Cumberland and another Nentsberry Haggs Mine in Cumberland which I assume are one and the same location. I also have a Calcite ps Witherite labelled Haggs Mine, Northumberland? Can I assume that should be Cumberland?

4.) Does anyone know if Blum's Die Pseudomorphosen des Mineralreiches (1843 and other dates) has been translated to English?


Many thanks!

Those are neat pseudos. I can only help with 1) I believe Trepca is close to Pristina, well and truly inside Kosovo.

Blum's pseudomorphosen has not to my knowledge been translated. Nor has any other of his german works according to Schuh.

For any biobibliographic mineralogy information, please visit the Library at the mineralogical record site.


all best

Another question - Does anyone know where and when the article titled something like "Pseudomorphs and other Morphs" was published? I thought it was in MR or R&M in the past 4 or 5 years, but can't seem to find a reference on the MR or R&M sites.


Thanks

Nentsbury Mine, Nentsberry Haggs Mine and Haggs Mine are all the same place and the specimens should properly all be labelled Nentsberry Haggs Mine. The mine, or at least it's adit portal, is in Cumberland (or Cumbria as it now is!), but just to confuse things a bit, some of the workings of the mine do stretch into Northumberland.


As I recall, this is also true of several other mines near the Cumbria/Northumberland border
