In Memoriam: Michael Edwin New (1945–2022).

Mike was active around the world - I would see him in Munich or Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, but it is certainly Mexico that brought Mike to the attention of the collector world. Along with Sandra, Mike collected at Jerome, Arizona, where he made a find that plunged him deep into the mineral business - the azurite rosettes recovered were snapped up by collectors, and a mineral dealer was hatched. Mike's son, Jason, had been working for his father for many years as comanager, which would free up Mike to go collect the next new find. [Extracted from the article]
