I mainly work on articles relating to southern England and rivers and Roman roads, plus anything else that catches my interest. I take lots of photos wherever I go to upload to commons.
Sphalerite is a sulfide mineral with the chemical formula (Zn,Fe)S. It is found in a variety of deposit types, and is found in association with galena, chalcopyrite, pyrite (and other sulfides), calcite, dolomite, quartz, rhodochrosite, and fluorite. Sphalerite is an important ore of zinc, with around 95 percent of all primary zinc extracted from its ore. Due to its variable trace-element content, sphalerite is also an important source of several other metals such as cadmium, gallium, germanium and indium. The zinc in sphalerite is also used to produce brass. This sample was extracted in Creede, Colorado, and features black tetrahedral crystals of sphalerite up to 8 mm (0.31 in) in size, with minor chalcopyrite and calcite, in a 4.5 cm × 3.0 cm × 2.0 cm (1.77 in × 1.18 in × 0.79 in) matrix. This photograph was focus-stacked from 125 separate images.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus
If you do this, Wikipedia will show all times in Recent changes, page histories, and contribution histories based on your local time zone. However, when you sign a
talk page with ~~~~, the timestamp is created in text, so it has to be displayed in UTC. Automated logs such as image file uploads
are also shown in server time (UTC).
To show other users what time zone you are in, you could even add a time userbox to your own user page.

Awarded to those who have given a great answer on the
Teahouse Question Forum

A good answer is one that fits in with the Teahouse expectations of proper conduct: polite, patient, simple, relies on explanations not links, and leaves a talkback notification.
For the incredibly helpful work and time you put into getting Gungnyeo and Musuri to have clearer descriptions, I, award Charlesdrakew this copyeditor's barnstar. Thank you so much. Keep up the good work!Caspian blue 20:16, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
