    Thank you so much for all the time and preparation that you put into your presentations. I go to a monthly mineral class in Kingman, AZ led by a DANA expert and also a geologist. It has been very helpful to see their vast mineral collections and to have them share their many years of experience. This video helped to pull together more pieces of the puzzle (a puzzle that I will be playing with the rest of my life).

      Dolomite is a rock related to limestone, but with both magnesium and calcium carbonates.

    Thank you for your intensive exploration of minerals! Great show! What was the pink mineral combined with the manganese in the photo of the manganese examples? ❤

    • @ChrisRalph

      Pink minerals with manganese are usually Rhondonite or sometimes Rhodochrosite.

    One of your images of galena says it is from the Sierra Gordo mine, which is the mine a fellow you-tuber owns. I would like to know more about tellurides and the other sulfides that occur with gold, have you covered them in more detail elsewhere? Do all of the calcite minerals glow under blacklight? Are there many other minerals that glow under blacklight? I understand that some radioactive minerals here in Texas can actually glow for a short time when exposed to air. Are there many minerals that are radioactive? Are they dangerous to be exposed to? Thanks for writing your book, it has been very helpful in my weekend efforts. I have found some small flakes in the Llano/Marble Falls area in Texas, but I am heading new adventures towards New Mexico to find better exposures since I live in Lubbock TX.

      You should really go though my catalog of older videos, I think a bunch of them would interest you.

      No, because 99.99999% of everything is leaverite. Its the good stuff you want to recognize when you go past it.
