Spar (mineralogy) edit

A few other people and I have been working on this article for a while, and I would like to hear any comments for improvement. --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 20:08, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions
- Cite the two unsourced statements
- Expand all three sections (if possible)
- Add an infobox
- Look at Ammolite for a good example.

Thanks for the review, JuWiki. It's very nice when someone includes an example in the review, it helps a lot. I'll see what I can do..., thanks again! --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 00:24, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Surely there is more content that can be added to this article? It seems quite brief. For example, what is the etymology of the word?[1] Why do spar's form most readily in water? Doesn't a spar have a light coloration?[2] What about the properties of the named varieties of spar, rather than just listing the minerals from which they are formed? (Iceland spar, Pear spar, Rhomb spar, Bitter spar, Satin Spar Gypsum, Dogtooth spar, Nailhead spar, ... &c.) Thanks. — RJH (talk) 19:29, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there is much that can be added. The only problem is that only two people besides me have helped add on to the article, and I'm certain that none of us has any background info. Thanks very much for the review, RJHall! --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 00:24, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
