Dana is an editor of a text which is an authority on mineral systems and crystallization. To a large extent he standardized the minerals to about 1600 basic ones. Before the systems where very confusing. There are 17 issues of the manual. It is also called Cornelius Hurlbut's. A more modern system that "replaces" the reaction series of Bowen, would be the text Deere, Howie and Zussman. Modern mineralogy pays more attention to the concept of meta-stability to explain the existence of crystals that survive the crossing of the eutectic, and exist outside of their formational region of stability like diamond, perovskite and olivine. Many of today's authorities have broken with the past in structure and mineralogy and produce their own texts and explanations of rock types, minerals, structural forces and fabrics. A geologist trained in Canada prior to 1975 may be deficient in his understanding of geological tectonics, structural rules and rock chemistry. This would include most trained at Queens at any time :) echarter@vianet.on.ca The Canadian Mining Newsletter

This reminds me of doing a news column....care to add it like Ann Landers ? Eheheheheheheh. The New Promoters Dictionary of Geology Presents........... Oliveine...Just as it sounds usually found in a Martini usually has a tooth pick running through it. Better when shaken not stirred. Some times it is found in several variations of running from light green all the way through black. Color.....Just as in the previous definition (refer to olivine) when biting into the olivine you may see the difference in contrast caused by the tooth pick..... that is COLOR...some of the tooth picks are made from plastic and can come in a variety of colors...when at mining conventions gold and silver tooth picks are the ones of choice, they seemed to excite the most promoters. Now according to the schedule Mr. Jackson sent to me on mining conferences, there is no doubt that this is a frequent occurrence.. I beleive this to be the start of most stock sales for most moist mines today . There is no doubt that very soon I will be attending one of these functions to learn more on Olivine and Color...so much for fractured fairy tales today .Ta ta
