New Mexico Mineral Symposium — Abstracts

In 1961, 445 Colorado mineral species were described by Edwin Eckel in U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin 1114. Today, nearly 750 species are known from the state. An update and revision of Colorado Minerals is in the final stages of development. The long-awaited publication, sponsored by the Denver Museum of Natural History and the Colorado Chapter of Friends of Mineralogy, will be undergoing a final review during 1994 with publication expected in 1995. The publication contains important historical information on the state's minerals as well as up-to-date mineralogy on a large number of rare and unique species.
