Links to Mineral Related Websites

Mindat.org is the world’s leading authority on minerals and the localities they are found at. Mindat.org is the largest mineral database and mineralogical reference website on the internet. The mindat.org database is a key resource for education about rocks and minerals. Containing data on minerals and mineral localities, mindat.org provides a platform to promote awareness about geology, mineralogy, mining, and those sciences and industries that are intrinsically linked to them.  Without this site it would take me forever to do my research.
