Mineral of the Week
Biehlite is a very rare white coloured mineral. It is an antimony arsenic bearing molybdate. It was named in honour of Friedrich Karl Biehl (1887 - ?), professor at the Westfälische-Wilhelms University, Münster, Germany. He was one of the first people to do mineralogical work on the Tsumeb deposit in Namibia, its type locality.

Mineral of the Week
Awaruite is a naturally occurring alloy of nickel and iron with a composition from Ni2Fe to Ni3Fe. It occurs in river placer deposits derived from serpentinised peridotites and ophiolites. It also occurs as a rare component of meteorites. It was first described in 1885 for an occurrence along Gorge River, near Awarua Bay, South Island, New Zealand, its type locality.

Mineral of the Week
Aerugite is a rare complex nickel arsenate mineral. It forms green to deep blue-green trigonal crystals and has a Mohs hardness of 4. It was first described in 1858 in either the South Terres mine of Cornwall, England or in the Ore Mountains, Saxony, Germany. The origin is disputed. The most common occurrence is as an incrustation on furnace walls in which ores are roasted. Its name comes from the Latin word aerugo for copper rust.

Birds of the World 🐦🐥🦅🦉
The Arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea) is a tern in the family Laridae. This bird has a circumpolar breeding distribution covering the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of Europe (as far south as Brittany), Asia, and North America (as far south as Massachusetts). The species is strongly migratory, seeing two summers each year as it migrates along a convoluted route from its northern breeding grounds to the Antarctic coast for the southern summer and back again about six months later. Recent studies have shown average annual round-trip lengths of about 70,900 km (44,100 mi) for birds nesting in Iceland and Greenland and about 48,700 km (30,300 mi) for birds nesting in the Netherlands. These are by far the longest migrations known in the animal kingdom.
Animal Fact 🐶🐱🐭🐹
A new study has revealed that the electrostatic field created by butterflies and moths in flight allows them to attract pollen grains from flowers across air gaps up to several centimetres wide.
