Just wondering how long does it take to get a picture approved
10th Aug 2017 08:01 UTCDon Windeler
I am a regular, non-manager user. My experience is that the vast majority of my photos have been approved between crazy quick (a few hours) out to a week, with the norm being a day or two. As I understand it, different managers have varying geographic remits, so you can periodically get a longer delay if the main approver for your region is off duty away from MinDat for a bit. Sometimes things may also take longer if you have something potentially controversial or of uncertain ID.
And one should always expect a delay after major shows like Tucson, as everyone and their brother is heaving photos of their new favorite children into an approval traffic jam.
All of this is done by volunteers, so I try stay mellow when I upload something -- though I'll confess to to checking my "newest photos" way more than I should once I've crammed it all into the system! (And a big thanks to all those taking care of the approval process.)
Cheers,
D.

I note that someone (not me) has questioned the identity of your three prasiolite photos, hence the delay.
Certainly from my perspective they just look like quartz.
Cheers

This is prasiolite : https://www.mindat.org/gallery.php?min=40112 and is way from what you have uploaded.
Please change the " prasiolite " in quartz and they will get through.
Cheers.

Good morning, I read the description of prasiolite and it said green Quartz. Isn't this green?
Thanks

that may cause confusion, if it's supposed to be prasiolite.

Just a file name
The specimens are from a amethyst deposit

Yes, it's quartz. But if we're going to allow varietal names such as 'amethyst', 'smoky quartz' etc on mindat then I see no reason to prevent this being called 'prasiolite'.
If this isn't prasiolite then we need a much clearer definition of what prasiolite is on the prasiolite page.

What if somebody call a chlorite or hedenbergite included quartz, prasiolite ?

> If this isn't prasiolite then we need a much clearer definition of what prasiolite is on the prasiolite page.
And this is associated with amethyst, which gives some good confidence that it is a true 'prasiolite' and not included with chlorite or whatever

I note that in the Canadian Mineralogist (46, 111-124) "An Investigation of Greenish Quartz found at the Thunder Bay Amethyst Mine Panorama, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, and Similar Localities" by Laura B, HEBERT and George R. ROSSMAN that they discuss the occurrence of greenish Quartz. They don't call it Prasiolite.
However, given that Prasiolite is a term for green quartz, I guess the two specimens qualify.
I note also that according to the geology.com website Prasiolite is heat treated Amethyst.
"A small number of amethyst deposits contain material that turns a yellowish green to green color at about 500 degrees Celsius."
I'm forever learning !!
Cheers

Hi
Here is another photo of the one that is not approved. Looks green but with a coating

very very simplified of course.

Green??
10th Aug 2017 13:54 UTCJolyon Ralph Founder
The other two were much clearer

Nassau seems to think that green quartz (at least from Brazil) is distinct from the "greened" amethyst.

Just wondering why the 2 specimens that were approved as prasiolite have been removed from the prasiolite page

I have seen a similar effect in amethyst from near Broken Hill, but a thin section suggested the green colour of bleached material may be due to numerous extremely fine inclusions of micaceous minerals.
