Hello PIGs, here is an announcement posted by request of Callum Hetherington regarding a publication by MDPI on REE minerals. Those of you who collect REE minerals from pegmatites may have something to contribute to this. David London **************************************************** Dear Colleagues I would like to draw your attention to a special issue being prepared for publication in Minerals dedicated to the occurrence, behavior and petrographic significance of REE-minerals.
