Welcome to the mineral gallery
This site contains a comprehensive index of mineral properties using
mineral examples taken from my own collection. A lot of the minerals
and variants are budget examples that may be encountered in the field
or purchased from mineral dealers. Each mineral type is classified using
a simplified identification method. Further information about mineral formation,
mineral uses and mineral features is also provided.
To find a mineral, click on 'mineral A to Z' and select a letter or use the search facility. If you have a mineral that you are not able to identify, try the Mineral Identification Tool. Select a few mineral properties and some suggested mineral types may result. A number of items are still under construction and will be added shortly.

The original mineral data set was prepared in the mid to late nineties for a CD-ROM which unfortunately was never completed due to competition from other collections with much larger budgets. Due to the improvement of web database technologies, it has been relatively easily to convert the original dataset and present it as a website.

The site uses a MySQL database and is scripted in PHP. The website is being
