And of course to gwern, wedifrid, and several other people who knew much more about minerals than I did for not participating; that was helpful too.

Indeed. You can be sure that this contest has been entered into my personal mistakes file.

Kevin said the same thing, but I didn't read either of your writings until after the contest. I'm going to classify this one under "independent confirmation".

My file has been likewise expanded!

For my part I do concur with all of Yvain's findings while I had a few disagreements with Kevin's ideas.
