A NEW BEGINNING! This website was started while I was working as an academic at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and QUT offered free hosting on one of their servers during tis period. However, when my disability increased in early 2008 and I was forced to retire it became impossible for me to maintain and update the site. Recently the website has been moved to a private server fully under my control again and from now on regular updates will be made. There is however a but. Having the site privately hosted means that I am now forced to pay for the hosting of the website from my disability pension and that might become too much of a burden. If you wish to support/sponsor to keep this website not only on the internet but keep it growing please contact me via my email at the bottom of this page. Thanks for all your support! Theo |
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.
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. Data are on the web only available as images of the spectra.
