Breaking!!! news for the geologist world

in #rare7 years ago (edited)

Scientists have found/discovered a new mineral in far-east Russia that could revolutionise the future of the mining industry.

The mineral -- Nataliyamalikite -- is new, and did not exist before, explains Professor Joël Brugger, the lead author in a recently published paper in American Mineralogist.

It contains thallium, a rare heavy metal containing poison.

The new mineral was discovered in the Kamchatka Peninsula -- one of the most active volcanic zones in the world, featuring 160 volcanoes including 29 that are active.

No infringement intended just feel like spreading the word out......
