That's certainly interesting. Cheers for posting Mr B.

I guess there's still quite a bit to uncover out there yet. This should have the mineral collectors chomping at the bit for a while -depending on rarity. Wonderful looking mineral!

I'll stick with the struggle of finding a few of the already well known rocks, gems and minerals for now :D
Kindest regards,
Shauno.
 
yes very interesting, like the newly discovered "super heavy element 117", Its 40% heavier than lead (maybe heavier than gold?)
 
I take kids to the Australian Fossil and Mineral Museum in Bathurst (do yourselves a favour go, look and drool at the speciemens) . Warren Somerville (his collection) is inspirational to listen to in his quest for different minerals. He told us last visit new minerals are being discovered all the time (half dozen every week) so the list grows continually
