Some friends and I are planning a trip this spring break. We want to do some mineral collecting along the way. I have been to Mt. Ida and the Crater of Diamonds Park in Arkansas and was thinking this would be a good place to go again. Any other suggestions for good places to collect minerals in the Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma areas?

Most continental volcanism occurs over subduction zones in convergent plate tectonic settings. But there are volcanic areas on continents(such as North America, Africa, and Europe) that are not located in convergent plate tectonic settings. Where is three examples of locations in the world where this type non-subduction-related continental volcanism is occurring and what is the possible reasons fo the volcanism in these regions???

In my opinion, I believe that the Nuke test that occured on Oct. 9, could cause worldwide earthquakes. Searching other quakes in the time period of the test, Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines reported small to moderate sized quakes. Now that the Hawaiian Island had quakes, it sounds a little coincedential to me.

I know that oil is a limited resource and everyday I see thousands of vehicles and planes using fuel and other things so how could there not be a big fear of running out. Because if it runs out the world would be in chaos today. It would be difficult to transport food to markets and to even just get to work. I know there are hybrids and studys on bio fuels and also hydrogen powered vehicles but it just seems as long as we have the oil nipple going that there isnt any rush to get the alternative things. Why will we continue to rely on a resource that will run out?

I have a transparent mineral that I cannot identify which looks colorless in direct light but has a very pale light blue tint against white surfaces. It looks very much like Goldquarryite however, unlike Goldquarryite it fluoreses a bright whitish blue under long wave UV. It has a hardness greater than calcite but softer than fluorite. I only have fragments of about 1.5cm long so I'm uncertain of the actual shape of the crystal but I can see some mica like layering on one of the flat surfaces, and steps can be seen in the fracture on one of the specimens. One specimen is slab shaped and the other is a chunk with a vague, somewhat stepped tetrogonal shape.. Both specimens are clear enough to read through yet there are many internal faults and some internal "rainbowing" as is sometimes seen in quartz. It was found in California amongst white landscaping rock which was primarily calcite. The mineral in question does not bubble in acid and is not calcite.
