Merger

I think that Thorium Silicate mineral huttonite should probably be merged here. They look to be the same subject. Chris857 (talk) 02:46, 13 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Yup, will merge anything useful from that "term paper". Vsmith (talk) 16:31, 13 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Very little to merge as the new article was essentially a poorly written clone of this one and used most of the same sources. Vsmith (talk) 16:58, 13 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

File:Huttonite-1255605.jpg might be worth using. Perhaps crop the crystal if that is the title of the image.©Geni (talk) 19:45, 8 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
