Mineralogy and M Guide - Resources and Review

An atlas of full
colour photomicrographs of the major ore-forming associations and opaque minerals in non-mineralized rocks. It describes typical examples of each material from many classical localities throughout the world. For each association there is a listing of the major (and important minor) primary ore minerals, alteration products and gangue, typical textures, a brief discussion of the geology of the association and a list of references.
 
Extensive minerals database using IMA approved mineral names and varieties names, updated 1996. Includes an alphabetical list, systematic list, elements, sulfides, halides, oxides, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, silicates, organic materials and varieties.
 
Collection of links to journals, publishers, surveys, mineralogical databases, professional societies, laboratories, and research groups concerned with mineralogy and petrology.
 
Research programme in Southern Africa, Namibia and Lesotho, including proterozoic base metal deposits and hydrothermal mineralisation in the Bushveld complex.
 
Index to 500 earth science journals, with topics including analytical techniques, atmospheric sciences, cartography, geophysics, mineralogy, ocean sciences, planetary sciences, and volcanology. This French mirror also includes links to other Earth Science resources, some of which are in French.
 
Set of pictures of fluorescent minerals photographed under long wave or short wave ultraviolet light.
 
Research and theory in geophysics, geochemistry, sedimentology, geomorphology, petrology, plate tectonics, volcanology, structural geology, mineralogy, and planetary sciences. Tables of contents available.
 
Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization Australia: Division of Minerals. It aims to find the best solutions for minerals problems in Australia's best interests.
 
Searchable directory of substances, accessible by name, chemical group, colour, streak, hardness, crystal group, elemental affiliations, and Dana classification. Information returned for each entry covers chemical formula, composition, transparency, specific gravity, luster, popularity, and demand. Also includes a gallery of images and a glossary of related terms.
 
A non
commercial gallery of over 150 specimen images of rocks and minerals plus associated magazine.
 
Provides daily updates of the mission to identify new meteorite samples in the Antarctic, utilising the NOMAD robotic vehicle. Includes information about Carnegie Mellon University's Field Robotics Centre, the organisation responsible for the project, and a collection of related photographs, press releases, and technical publications.
 
Aims to give an appreciation of natural mineral crystals and their forms by giving background and understanding into the world of crystallography. Includes information on the cubic, tetragonal, orthorhombic, hexagonal, monoclinic and triclinic systems.
 
Database containing more than 5000 pages of mineral data, including individual mineral data descriptions with links. Headings include crystallography, chemical composition, physical and optical properties, as well as an alphabetical listing of mineral species.
 
Topics in traditional and innovative areas in minerals, metals and materials.
 
Extensive collection of links to mineralogy and earth sciences resources.
 
A guide to mountains, rocks and minerals in Switzerland.
 
A collection of mineral descriptions, images, and specimens, with an electronic index to a mineralogical database. It provides multiple cross linked indexes into the set of common minerals, plus a full text search index which aids in mineral identification.
 
Organisation for members involved in materials science and engineering. Includes information about publications such as JOM, covering subjects like high temperature materials, microstructural and mechanical properties, radiation effects and corrosion, issues in alloy stability and design, fatigue in structural materials, and simulation of metal
forming processes.
 
Index to geology and environmental resources, covering the topics of Environmental Geology and Human Existence, Getting Around in Geology, Plate Tectonics, Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Weathering and Soils, Landslides and Mass Wasting, Subsidence and Collapse, Water On Land, Water Under the Ground, Oceans and Coasts, Extreme Climates, Energy, Mineral Resources, and Waste Management.
 
Listing of hundreds of minerals, with descriptions and specifications.
