Dr Ian Stimpson has been featured in the news section of  'Science' magazine for his project to photograph a rock for every day for 2012.

The Rock366 project includes images of many samples from Keele's teaching collection of rocks and minerals, which contains many interesting and photogenic samples gathered from around the world over the last sixty years. 

Rock366 has already featured on BBC Cumbria earlier in the year and follows on from Rock365 that Dr Stimpson completed in 2010.

Photographs of Keele's rocks and minerals, and others, can be found on the project blog at  and on his flickr stream.

The photo shows a garnet within the Conquet Schists, from north of Pointe de St Mathieu, Brittany, France. Keele collection.
