Yes indeed, congratulations. For the benefit of us mere mortals, does anyone have a pic or three of this mineral?

Congrats! I, too, would a peek, at the least, at this new mineral.

Oh baby, congrats, Alfredo. I wonder if the mineral is pretty.

Congrats Alfredo!

Good to see another of our best recognized. Congrat, Alfredo!

14th Oct 2017 02:07 UTCAlfredo Petrov Manager

Thank you all very much for your kind words, but this is old news! The mineral has already been on Mindat for more than 2 years, since September 2015. And let's not forget two other mineral species named after Mindat managers at the same time: ciriottiite and andychristyite.

We should all chip in and buy Alfredo a new alfredopertrovite bumper stick, as his previous one was destroyed in a car fire (as I recall).

14th Oct 2017 14:31 UTCRolf Luetcke Expert

Nice to have purchased one from him personally a couple of years ago, when it was first out. I immediately got photos of it to post, great this is again honoring a wonderful person.

14th Oct 2017 15:29 UTCSteve Hardinger 🌟 Expert

He was further honored many years ago when a pasta sauce adopted his name as well.
