[Rockhounds] AD: Microminerals from Sauktown Sales

[jim at sauktown.com]

The September update to www.sauktown.com will be posted today.
The unmounted specimens are all new. They include a fibrous  
heulandite, V-twins od cerussite, and malachite from the Christmas  
Mine in Arizona. While malachite is generally considered a fairly  
common mineral, it isn't common at the Christmas Mine!
There are also some interesting pseudomorphs after stibnite from  
Nevada. I'm not sure what they are- could be stibiconite, valentinite  
or something else.
There's also cyanotrichite from the Blue Crystal Mine in Colorado.  
I've heard that this might be the old Big Indian Mine, but can't  
confirm it.
The mounted specimens include boleite and thomsenolite, both from the  
type localities.
I'm adding another micro bag this month: the Gila River, in Grant  
County, NM. I don't have detailed locality information, but there are  
a number of outcrops along the road paralleling the Gila River, and  
they are all pretty much the same.
