Longstanding copyvio

The previous version of this article dating back from July 2009 was a substantial copy of the article in Mineral Information Service Vol 18 No.7 from July, 1965 [1] produced by the State of California Department of Conservation, whose publications are not public domain. I have replaced it with a referenced stub for now and will expand it to at least its previous length when time permits. Mikenorton (talk) 11:02, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
