This, our second index, covers issues 11 to 20 of the UK Journal of Mines & Minerals, published between 1992 and 2000. Information about the minerals from a locality can be found in the locality index. This is organised hierarchically by country, county or state, then site name. To avoid the confusion engendered by the repeated late twentieth century boundary changes in the British Isles, the county boundaries defined by the Local Government Act of 1974 are adopted almost exclusively. Thus Wales is divided into Dyfed, Clwyd, Powys and Gwynedd and Scotland into Highland, Strathclyde, Dumfries and Galloway etc. We have made a few exceptions to this rule, as with the confusing suite of counties surrounding Cardiff in Wales, which are simply referred to as Glamorgan. The new counties and county boroughs brought in by the Lieutenancies Act of 1997 are not used.
The mineral index can be used to find references to a particular mineral
species and contains a little less than 2000 entries. It includes valid mineral
species (e.g. quartz), series names (e.g. stilbite) and group names (e.g.
tourmaline). A few variental (e.g. beryl var. emerald) and poorly defined
names (e.g. hornblende) have also been included. Passing or incidental references,
especially in show reports and the like, have largely been ignored and minerals
that are considered suspect or discredited from particular localities have
been omitted.
