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

N'Chwaning Mines, Kuruman, Kalahari manganese fields, Northern Cape Province, South Africa
8 x 5 x 4.5 cm. Crystals to 3.5 cm. Only trivial damage, and incredible visual display, from one of the best several pockets of the late 1970s. This is the Holy Grail of collecting N’Chwaning rhodos - a cabinet piece without tons of damage, with the large crystals, and the glowing GEMMY large scalenohedra. There is, as with most of these, ...

Shaw and Esrey's Quarry, Chester Township, Delaware Co., Pennsylvania, USA
9.2 x 6.8 x 2.0 cm. A surreal shard-like quartz with amethyst protrusions, smoky body, and elegant form. Also, the locality is interesting. We are pretty sure the label is from the 1800s. A fine piece of course, regardless of locale, but the locality is a bonus for a Pennsylvania collector! Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.

The famous "Subway Garnet" from the American Museum of Natural History, on display at the Tucson Show, 2008. According to the label, the locality is debatable. The almandine crystal, found in 1885, weighs a whopping 9.5 lbs (4.3 kg). Peter Cristofono photo.

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.
