“The worldwide hunt for a little-known critical mineral has seen trucks moving for the first time in more than a decade at the historic Hillgrove mine just outside #Armidale.
Known for gold mining during the 19th century, the #NorthernTablelands mine has been re-energised by growing worldwide demand for antimony.
The #mineral is found in a variety of products, including fire #retardants, #SolarPanelCells, #StorageBatteries and defence manufacturing.”

Barely squeaking in here for #TextureTuesday with a surprisingly pretty pile of abandoned road salt. It looks like the salt that dissolved in rain is recrystallizing on the larger, intact crystals. There’s probably a chemistry term for this…?

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🔍💎 A single .32 gram #crystal from #Myanmar’s #Mogok region, named #kyawthuite, is the only natural specimen of its #mineral ever documented. Found in 2010 and recognized in 2015, its unusual bismuth-antimony-oxide structure remains unmatched.

Hype for the Future 133W: Hawthorne, Nevada
Overview Hawthorne is an unincorporated community within the boundaries of Mineral County, Nevada, and serves as the county seat. Since the county is home to zero (0) incorporated communities, the county seat must therefore be an unincorporated community, and in the case of Hawthorne, the unincorporated area claims a population of over three thousand (3,000) residents with the Hawthorne Ordnance Museum and the Hawthorne Army Depot situated nearby.https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/03/13/hype-for-the-future-133w-hawthorne-nevada/

Crown Emerald Copper, Desert Queen Dioptase!
https://www.mineralcup.org/2025/vote/r4m02
Please vote for the pyroelectric, HOT desert mama! It's so amazing it can look like moss but is electric if you heat it up 😲
So, did someone call #electric #Mosstodon? The most arid deserts in the world have none, but grow moss-like dioptase to make up for it. The world's amazing, so spread the love & vote!
Forbidden #broccoli or green #cauliflower?Dioptase was first mistaken to be emerald and gets its colour and toxicity from copper. Hence, Emerald Copper and Desert Emerald nicknames! Although it's toxic - no licking! 😅 - the vivid green tones make it great for healing & the heart. 💚💎🧡
Here's some different mossy shapes to spot in different photos, if you want to look toward the ground instead of what you see in clouds! Thanks for voting!

Report By Amy Corbin
Posted October 1, 2004
Updated April 1, 2010"For more than two decades, the #Shoshone and #Paiute peoples, scientists, #environmentalists, the federal government, Nevada citizens and politicians have wrestled over the fate of Yucca Mountain. The federal government had selected the mountain to become the nation’s primary dumping ground for deadly, high-level #NuclearWaste, but the long-contested project is at last on its way to being closed. Meanwhile, the #WesternShoshone fight off federal efforts to sell their land in order to give multinational #corporations access to its #mineral resources. But the Western Shoshone stand firm. Raymond Yowell, Chief of the Western Shoshone National Council, said, 'Western Shoshone title is still intact… We’ve never accepted their money and never will — our land, the earth mother is not for sale and we will protect her and continue our responsibilities as caretakers under the Creator’s law.'
The Land and Its People
"Yucca Mountain is located within the Western Shoshone Nation and has long been a place of powerful spiritual energy for the Shoshone and the Paiute. To the Western Shoshone it is #SnakeMountain, a place with rock rings that transmit prayers to the Great Spirit and messages back to the people. The late Shoshone spiritual leader Corbin Harney told a traditional story that Snake Mountain will one day be awakened and split open, spewing out poison. This prophecy may predict the potential disaster of #volcanic activity and nuclear waste leakage. Shoshone ancestors are buried in the mountain and the water in the area is sacred, as it is with many desert peoples.
"The 60 million acres of Western Shoshone territory in Nevada, Idaho, Utah and California, which includes Yucca Mountain, was never deeded to the U.S. government. According to the 1863 #RubyValleyTreaty that the Shoshone signed with the government, most of the area now used by the U.S. military for #NuclearWeapons testing and the proposed waste storage site was explicitly recognized as Shoshone land. However, the U.S. government now claims 80 to 90 percent of it, meaning that the Shoshone are unable to control what happens on their ancestral land. Legislators continue to try to persuade the Shoshone to accept financial compensation for this land, which most view as a way to extinguish aboriginal title and preclude future land claims, easing the way for renewed nuclear weapons testing and waste storage, as well as resource #extraction.
"In the late 1970s government scientists began to study Yucca Mountain as a possible repository for nuclear waste, and since 1987 it has been the only site considered for 77,000 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste. While the Yucca Mountain Project has been debated, the amount of nuclear waste needing burial has already surpassed what the repository was designed to hold. In the meantime, nuclear waste continues to sit in steel-lined pools or casks near power plants throughout the country that produce 2,000 tons of high-level waste per year. The waste is lethal for 10,000 years and dangerous for 250,000 years."
[...]
"The Yucca Mountain Project calls for the highly radioactive nuclear waste to be encased in steel containers and buried deep in the mountain. Since the canisters will last for 1,000 years at most, the dryness of the mountain will have to guarantee against leakage and migration — an assumption that environmentalists and many scientists say is flawed and dangerous. Surface water percolating into the mountain will carry radioactive particles into the water table and render it toxic. This water table currently supplies water to local communities and farming regions that produce food products for the entire country.
"In 2005, Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman confirmed that internal department e-mails allude to the #falsification of data on how quickly water flows through Yucca Mountain. This revelation caused a federal investigation, and condemnation from Congress triggered the Department of Energy to completely reorganize the project and lay off 500 employees. Robert Hager, attorney for the Western Shoshone, said that the Yucca site would have been disqualified years ago if the true nature of the subterranean water flow was known.
"With several local #FaultLines and a #volcano nearby, earthquakes make it likely that the mountain will fracture the repository and send even more water to the waste. There are also grave concerns about the safety of transporting nuclear waste over long distances through several U.S. states, particularly in an era of terrorist threats. During the later Bush years, as environmental concerns mounted and citizens from other states grew more leery, the project began to look more and more unlikely."

#UnitedNations: #Russia's #AntiWar #Indigenous Denied Credentials, Their Voices Heard Anyway

"The voices of Russia's anti-war #IndigenousActivists denied credentials were heard anyway at the United Nations Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in Geneva.
Indigenous women denied credentials say Russia needs #mineral industries to wage its wars, and is asserting pressure at the United Nations."Read more:
