This database provides information about mineralogy and is dedicated to providing access to physical and chemical data, photos, electron microscopy images, images of thin sections and analytical data such as Mineral Vibrational Spectra in the near-, far- and mid- infrared regions of the spectrum, infrared emission spectra and Raman spectra of minerals. Most of the vibrational data in this database were obtained in the Faculty of Science laboratories.
Mineral Data: thousands of pages with information, photos and spectra
This is the ever growing list of physical, chemical (more than 3650 minerals) and optical data (1000 minerals), photos (more than 60,000 colour photos of around 2200 minerals, thin sections, more than 100 scanning electron microscope images of more than 50 minerals and transmission electron microscope images) and vibrational spectra of the minerals available in this database. The original spectra are available for selected minerals on request. Data are on the web only available as images of the spectra.
