Option 1

 * Article title
 * Cordierite


 * Article Evaluation
 * Cordierite is currently listed as a low importance start article by the Gemology and Jewelry, Geology, and Rocks and minerals Wikiprojects. The article's content appears relevant to the topic. The article contains unexplained jargon. The article is written neutral. The talk page contains some suggestions regarding the gem's usages and the addition of more information on iolite. It seems as though it may be difficult to find articles on this topic.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Polyhalite


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is listed as a low importance start article by the Rocks and Minerals Wikiproject. The article is very short and contains few sources. Some information is uncited. Information is very surface level and does not explain what it refers to. The article is neutral. The talk page for this article contains no comments. Possible sources that need to be further looked into:
 * Feasibility study on leach mining of deeply buried polyhalite and kinetic modeling of leaching An Lianying, Yin Huian, Tang Minglin 2010
 * The first polyhalite deposit of China Huang Xuanzhen 1996
 * Distribution, genesis and significance of shallow-seated polyhalite ores in Quxian, Sichuan, China Lin Yaoting, Yin Shiming 1998
 * Study on a method of extracting potassium in polyhalite, Hao Lifang, Aa Lianying, Tang Minglin, Yin Huian, Long Zuoping 1944
 * Use of polyhalite mineral as an acidogenic ingredient for prepartum diets of non-lactating dairy cows Ferreira, G, Teets, CL, Meakin, RJ 2019

 * Polyhalite as a potassium and multinutrient source for plant nutrition, Dal Molin, SJ, Nascimento, CO, Teixeira, PC, Benites, VD, 2019 More scources will need to be used.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Cummingtonite


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is quite short and is listed as c-class, low importance by the Geology and Rocks and Minerals Wikiprojects. However, it is also listed as a level 5 vital article in earth sciences. The article is neutral, short but well put together. There is very little comment on Cummingtonite's uses and mining. The article structure is a bit loose with images places in areas that make headings appear as sub headings. The talk page for this mineral is, unsurprisingly, filled with people commenting on the comedy of the mineral's name and the removal of vandalism on the page. Due to the distracting mineral name, only a few comments actually seem to be discussing the improvement of the article.



Option 4

 * Article title
 * Anorthite


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article uses few sources and is quite short. Listed as a start class high importance article by the Rocks and Minerals Wikiproject and a start class mid importance article by the Geology Wikiproject. This article is a level 5 vital article in earth science. The article itself is short and does not offer much information on the mineral. Some information is not cited. The talk page is devoid of comments.
