 * Symbol confirmed.svg Checks out to me. Article is solid, new enough, and contains the hook and citations for it. Picture checks out fine too. Not sure if the mineral names should be italicised in the hook, though; I'd stick them inside quote marks instead (the article title itself isn't italicised so I'm assuming the italics here are just for emphasis).
