Hi, welcome to the DF wiki! First, the mistake you made is both minor and common - hate to admit it, but I did almost the identical thing for my first edit effort. Much of this wiki comes from (confirmed!) personal observation, but whenever possible it first comes from the game code and files. For layers, stones and gems, it comes from the "raws", a set of files that the game uses to generate the world. For bandfire opal, we can see how they're programmed in DF/raw/objects/matgloss_stone_gem.txt. If you use ctl+f for "bandfire", you'll see that the environment of that gem is "all stone" - nothing unique about Hornblende. In DF/.../matgloss_stone_mineral, we can find hornblende to see where that's found - again, all over. So, nothing special about what is found in hornblende, at least not from these files (or not so far.) Any time you think you see something in the wiki that "just looks waaaay off", drop a query in the "discussion" page first (and/or the forums), and see what feedback you get. If your suspicions are confirmed, you're good to go, or if refuted then either "more research" or a better understanding will probably ensue. This is no biggie - like I said, a lot of us started exactly this way. (And your catch on "tilesets", if accurate, is certainly welcome!) (I don't use tilesets m'self, so I can't say.) Anyway, again, welcome, and afaic you can delete this if you want - it's served it's purpose. Later daze, --Albedo 17:47, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
