Hello, I'm Diamond Dave. I'm a geologist, I completed my PhD in 2006 on the subject of geomorphology, lineaments and fault hosted mineralisation in south east Ireland. I was given the nickname Diamond Dave by my classmates because of my conspicuous interest in mineralogy.
My main lifelong interests are Mineralogy and Astronomy but I have had many short lived interests that seem to last about a month before I master a subject and move on. Whilst in the mist of an interest, I like to contribute the knowledge gained to Wikipedia. Contributions include Rudolf II, Laser safety, Eta Carinae, Radiation Hormesis, The 2008 Market Rasen Earthquake etc.
I founded in 2002 and now help run Ireland's only social group for adults with Asperger's syndrome.
Hydrothermal breccia composed mainly of
quartz and
manganese oxides, the result of
seismic activity about 12 million years ago. A picture I took during geological fieldwork at the Cloghleagh Iron Mine, county Wicklow, Ireland (53° 11' 30"N, 06° 25' 30"W WGS84). The hydrothermal breccia is about 12 million years old, as determined by Ar/Ar dating of the potassium bearing manganese oxides.
