Article Title: Interesting and Rare Minerals Findings
By: J. Alberto Gonzalez
September 18, 2002

Article Content: Hi everybody in the mineral collecting world.I own a 600 acres mining claim in Chihuahua, Mexico, and during my exploration for noble minerals at metamorphism of contact, I identified white/colorless tourmaline-achroite-in skarn matrix of andradite,schorlomite,hedenbergite and emerald green color apatite which aside the fact that that this is the first recorded finding of the kind in Mexico, it is also the first finding of this type of tourmaline in such violent enviroment;at hydrothermal deposits,I am recovering golden and silvery specimens of the tellurides empressite and sylvanite in a matrix of white lustrous metaquartzsite colored with attractive pink-reddish an yellow oxidation particular of tellurides along with nice malachite and azurite;at the pegmatitic zone,1-5mm brownish-black cubic chrystals of galkhaite. More common but quite spectacular specimens of very pure apple green jadeite and massive specular hematite with high contents of chromite.While! so far I have not been able to fullfil my initial purpose of identifying economic deposits of noble metals,am enjoying these exciting findings. Should you wish to see pictures of these minerals,please contact me at the above e-mail. Your questions and comments are welcome.
