World-wide systematic mineral collector since 1978, mindat contributer since Jan. 2004, focused on the mineralogy of Pennsylvania.
Now with the new and improved Mindat gallery, I've finally decided to contribute specimen pics from my other locality collections and world wide systematics, for localities which could use some additional representation. You can still view ONLY the Pennsylvania specimens by choosing the 'Mineral Name/Photo Title' option under 'Which Order' and typing "Pennsylvania" in the 'Keyword Box'. MRH

This is an incredible striated scalenohedron included with a mass of bright copper that grades and thickens into a matrix of copper upon which the crystal rests.

Mark Heintzelman's Blog
A blog is a series of personal articles recorded in date-order somewhat like diary entries. You can use your blog to keep track of your collecting adventures, your purchases, your thoughts and ideas, anything that you think other mindat.org members would be interested to read about. Other members can leave comments after your blog entry, but you can delete any comments you find inappropriate.
Mark Heintzelman's Articles
Articles are pages created by you to share with other mindat.org users. These may be serious (a formal scientific article) or personal (you could write an article about your collecting adventures, or about your artistic creations). You can work on your articles in private until you are ready to publish them. The best articles will be promoted throughout the site.
Unlike Blog Entries, you can continue to edit your articles if they have been published (should you find new information, for example).
Mark Heintzelman's Photos
You can use this search form to find photos in Mark's photo gallery. Mineral, locality and other photos are shown together unless you specify the type of photo. The default order is to show the most recent photos first, but again you can change this.
