Talk:Cummingtonite

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

When I first saw the name of this article, I thought it was vandalism. This has to be one of the most poorly named minerals ever. - Lucky13pjn 02:29, Dec 12, 2004 (UTC)

I have to disagree. Cummingtonite is surely one of the best-named minerals ever.

As of this moment, it's near the top of the Museum of Hoaxes' [1] front page, albeit as a 'strange but true' story. -Ashley Pomeroy 13:37, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

My minerology professor used to joke that if he ever discovered a new mineral he would name it nottonite :). That being said when I was browsing through here I found some vandalism on the page which I fixed. People need to grow up and get a life. -Amunchie I'll add some more info about the mineral soon.

updated the optical properties based on a newer version of the same book the original author referenced. Amunchie 22:48, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

I also thought this was a joke -- very bizarre, but funny! toki (talk) 09:21, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
