@cgrant We work with NextEngine 3D scanner HD for about a year or so, we started scanning all our finds with it that we brought to the campus. Got a pretty decent collection for today. This is our first 3D scanner that we used. Unfortunately, it works poorly in the fields , it suddenly turns off and does not turn on for a long time. Although it works fine in our laboratory. Therefore, about four months ago one of our assistants takes his own Artec to our fields and we can scan our finds right in the outcrops. It’s quite convenient and interesting. Thus, NextEngine is our lab scanner, and Artec is a field scanner.

@jkallmeyer I just said that the identification of minerals on the photos is quite a difficult task. 🙂 Mineralogy was my hobby at school, and I had a small collection.

@lcone @jkallmeyer It’s really hard to ID Calcite or Dolomite by a photo. You can use acid test – place a drop of dilute hydrochloric acid on a mineral and watch for releasing bubbles of carbon dioxide. If reaction is weak – it is Dolomite.
