Improving Mindat.orgPhoto of whom mineral is named after

25th Jun 2009 00:54 UTCJolyon Ralph Founder

New feature added - we can now show a photo of the person for whom the mineral is named after next to the description of the name.


So - now I'm looking for some help.


Do you have photos of people who have had minerals named after them? In particular people from the last 50 years or so of mineralogy?


If you do, please upload it to your gallery, photo type as OTHER and subtype personal photo. Add a description about who it is and where it was taken.


Then you'll have an ID number in your photo in the URL shown at the top, eg


photo-184532.html


In this case, 184532 is the photo ID.


So please do that, then comment to this thread and say:


"i've uploaded photo id 184532 of Mr XXXXXX to put on the page of XXXXite"


and I'll do the rest!


Thanks.

You can also upload photos/paintings/illustrations of historical figures as well!


I've already done:


Torbernite

Smithsonite

Goethite

Sillimanite


Wikipedia is a good source for these. If you're uploading you can copy/paste the URL for the image into the new 'copy from somewhere else on the web' box and upload it without needing to copy to your computer first. If you do this DO NOT FORGET to set the copyright status to PUBLIC DOMAIN for these images. Only use images that are marked on Wikipedia as public domain (ie paintings/illustrations earlier than around 1920)


Jolyon

25th Jun 2009 03:04 UTCHoward Heitner

Jolyon,


There is usually a group photograph taken every year at the Rochester Symposium of attendees who have minerals named after them, I don't know where they are archived or the copyright status, but it is worth looking into. The other source of pictures would be the memorial articles in American Mineralogist as well as other mineralogical journals. Back issues of American Mineralogist prior to 2000 are available on line.


Howard Heitner

25th Jun 2009 04:18 UTCNH

I don't have a mindat account, but here are four old, public domain images from wikipedia:
Carl Wilhelm Scheele (scheelite)
Johan Gadolin (gadolinite)
Jacobus Henricus van't Hoff (vanthoffite)
John Wesley Powell (powellite)


Are you only including minerals directly named after people? Columbite, for example, is distantly named after Christopher Columbus.

25th Jun 2009 04:19 UTCRobert Rothenberg

Hi Jolyon,


John Ebner has a substantial collection of micros mounted by the person after whom the mineral was named. He also has a collection of mineral memorabilia. He might be a good resource also.


Bob

25th Jun 2009 10:41 UTCJolyon Ralph Founder

I saw John Ebner's collection at Rochester this year - very impressive!


There's a list on wikipedia:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minerals_named_after_people


I've updated up to Armalcolite for those where there are images on Wikipedia already.

Also Carleton University.

The Mineralogical Record has a fairly nice shot of Wilhelm Maucher (Maucherite) and his wife Frieda on the page
http://www.minrec.org/labels.asp?colid=322

which perhaps they might allow to be used?


The shop he founded 100 years ago still exists; they have a (rather dark) photo of a painting on their own site:
http://www.kristallgarten-maucher.de/2.html

I could ask them about it next time I'm there.

25th Jun 2009 17:46 UTCMark Gottlieb

I took a look at the list on Wikipedia. it has "larimar" on it; named after some woman. Is anyone up to fixing it? As most of you know, larimar is a trade name for blue pectolite.

25th Jun 2009 18:08 UTCUwe Kolitsch Manager

"It was not until 1974 when at the foot of the Bahoruco Range, the coastal province of Barahona, a flash of blue in the beach sand caught the attention of Miguel Méndez and Peace Corps volunteer Norman Rilling and they scooped down to rediscover larimar. Natives, who believed the stone came from the sea, called the gem Blue Stone. Miguel promptly took his young daughter's name Larissa and the Spanish word for the sea (mar) and formed Larimar, by the colors of the water of the Caribbean Sea, where it was found."

25th Jun 2009 19:46 UTCJolyon Ralph Founder

I've removed it from the page on Wikipedia (As Uwe points out, the etymology is correct but it doesn't belong on a page of minerals named after people)


Jolyon

25th Jun 2009 21:11 UTCAlbert Mura

At the Rochester Symposium a few years back they took a picture of all the people there who had minerals named after them, there were around 20. If you contact Bill Pinch I believe he still has the photo. A number of them have past away since. Al

13th Jul 2009 23:29 UTCLászló Horváth Manager

Jolyon,


I can probably cover many Canadians as my book (the one Andy mentioned above) had photos of nearly all the Canadians who had minerals named after them. My problem is that many have or may have copyright or permission issues that I will have to check. Some of the permissions for the use of the photos covered the book only, and some of the living may be touchy about their image being on a website. This will take time to sort out. Marco Ciriotti et al. just published a new book "Italian type minerals" which has numerous photos, but I suspect that they will have similar problems with copyrights etc.

I think this is a great addition and that the historical aspect of minerals is often overlooked.


How about doing a picture of the location for minerals that are named after their locality. Minerals such as Tinticite (Tintic Standard Mine, Eureka, Utah), Utahite & Juabite (Centennial Eureka Mine, Juab County, Utah). There are many others as well.

I just came across this thread while at work, but it made me think. I have been getting older issues of Rocks and Minerals magazine lately, and I recall that in some of the older issues, they had a "Who's Who in Mineral Names" section. This usually had a small article on an older mineral name, and a small article on a more recent mineral name. I am not sure how many of the people in these articles have already been covered, or if this has already been mentioned, but this might be a good source, though I don't know the exact process to be able to use the photos involved.

by E. Van Der Meersche, P. De Paepe and G. Stoops

Academia Press, 2010, Ghent, 231 pp. (ISBN 978 90 382 1531 0)


shows portraits of people after whom minerals discovered in Belgium have been named (Part I), and of Belgians after whom minerals discovered abroad have been named (Part II). About 120 sections are comprised of a biographical sketch, a bibliography, crystallographic drawings, and fine pictures of the concerned mineral species.

Haineaultite added, thanks.


Having trouble with Terrywallaceite I added the photo ID but its not showing, perhaps as there is no description about him, will look into it.

That's right it needs the description field filled in

I received a message vis a vis discussion group on photos. I attach a more modern photo of Terry Wallace (me) which appropriately ages me.

Thank you Terry, I'll add it. May we have your date of birth please.

Selwynite, named after Alfred Selwyn - photo on Victorian Government website...

Don't know if the image can be used.

Steve, I tried to upload the image of Alfred Selwyn you posted above, but it is too small for our program to accept. Can you get a larger picture of Selwyn?

According to Julian A. Sohon, on page 24 of Connecticut Minerals, Their Properties and Occurrence, 1951, "Columbite is named after Columbia, a name for America where it was first found".

Not without playing around with the image Rock. What's the minimum dimensions?

13th Jan 2015 09:58 UTCDavid Von Bargen Manager

"What's the minimum dimensions?" = 350 pixels wide by 250 pixels high.

I've added another image of Selwyn. See http://www.mindat.org/photo-659704.html

This is from the the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Richard_Cecil_Selwyn

I hope it is helpful.

I enclose a photo of František Čech - Čechite is named after him. Thanks!

My tongue is (partially) in cheek for this one, but I see there are some nice site photos of the Centennial Eureka mine dumps for eurekadumpite.... ;-)


Cheers,
