[cid:image001.jpg@01D8D33A.69933A90]October 5 Webinar Every first Wednesday of every month is Mineral Talks LIVE - the monthly LIVE interview series where we sit down the most fascinating people in the mineral world from all over the world and talk rocks. Collectors, Curators, Curatrixes, Artists, Researchers, Publishers, Dealers and more. We get into their origin stories and get updated on some of the things they're working on now. It's always fun, often educational and one of the best ways to learn more about the people who make the mineral world what it is. You are invited to the next Mineral Talks Live webinar: 5 October September 2022 1:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) Register in advance for this webinar: http://go.mineraltalkslive.com/register After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. Webinar Speaker: Aaron Celestian [cid:image002.jpg@01D8D33B.E4FF7DF0] Dr. Aaron Celestian is currently researching<https://sites.google.com/nhm.org/aaron-celestian/home> how minerals interact with their environments and with living things, and how those minerals can be used to solve problems like climate change, pollution, and disease. His ongoing research in experimental design, real-time material characterization, synthesis & application, and the functionalization of minerals is developing novel nano-crystalline Earth materials into functional materials for a wide variety of demanding applications. Prior to becoming curator of Mineral Sciences at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, he was a Professor of Geology at Western Kentucky University, Director of the Advanced Materials Institute in Bowling Green, KY, affiliate scientist at the Kentucky NanoNet (a nanomaterials consortium), and VP for research & development at Terra Enviro LLC. Currently, Dr. Celestian holds adjunct teaching and research faculty positions at the University of Southern California and is an Affiliate Research Scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. In addition to research, Dr. Celestian oversees the Gem & Mineral Hall at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles<https://nhm.org/research-collections/departments-and-programs/mineral-sciences> and regularly develops mineral science exhibits. [cid:image003.png@01D8D33B.6F3030B0] Intergrowth of light to dark beige phoxite crystals with blue antipinite crystal near center; field of view 0.68 mm across. Phoxite is the first oxalate-phosphate mineral discovered (NH4)2Mg2(C2O4)(PO3OH)2(H2O)4. It can slowly dissolve in water, making it potentially useful to farmers as a time-released fertilizer (from phosphorous) while simultaneously adding protection from biting insects using the oxalate supplied to the plants. This mineral was first found at the Rowley Mine in Arizona and described in the American Mineralogist in 2019<http://www.minsocam.org/ProcessLogin_new.lasso?file_name=AM104P0973>. *************** If you have missed a previous episode, they are posted 30 days after the event.
