Improving Mindat.orgCan't add photo to Mine Page
23rd Oct 2019 14:28 UTCRolf Luetcke Expert
Is there a problem that won't allow me to add the same photo to the mine now? Never had this happen before?

It is unlikely to be "fixed", it's a feature.

The way to 'fix' this is really simple. Find your photo in the 'bent and deformed' thread, open it, edit it, and set it to the correct locality etc.
Not only will your photo then not be duplicated but the photo in the 'bent and deformed' thread will then have all your correct data with it.

Simply change it to Mineral/Rock photo, and fill in all the field as you would normally do

From now on will add to the mine pages first, as normal.
I just thought I do it the other way round this morning and that was not quite the right way to do it.
Thanks all.

That was my first thought also but by studying the whole specimen it became clear to me that it was not mimetite. Mimetite at this location I have only found once and it was tiny needles and nothing like this.
As I had noted, all the other wulfenites were much more like the normal tabular crystals.
This location has a lot of odd habits of wulfenite, pyramidal, bipyramidal, colorless and much more. I have posted a cross section on the San Diego Mine location. I gave this a lot of thought about whether it could be mimetite but in studying a lot of pieces I found it was not. That hex habit sure had me thinking and scratching my head. Wulfenite is one of my favorite minerals and I have seen a lot of unusual habits but this one was interesting. That one split on the side made me realize it was not just one crystal here.
