There are 4,205 mineral species descriptions linked
to mineral tables by crystallography, chemical composition,
physical and optical properties, Dana classification,
Strunz classification, mineral name origins, mineral
locality information, and alphabetical listing of
all known valid mineral species. (David A. Barthelmy)
MinMax
Database
MinMax is a database of minerals and worldwide collecting
locations. The main aspect is a online database of
mineral sites including their location, the mineral
list, mineral descriptions, collectors information,
pictures, links, shows and more. Every page and area
is available in english or german!
mindat.org
an online mineralogical reference and locality resource
for collectors and mineralogy students worldwide
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 (600 minerals),
photos (more than 60,000 colour photos of around 1900
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.

WWW-MinCryst
is a Crystal Structure DataBase for Minerals containing
4600 entries (2260 unique names, 2340 varieties on
composition, structure and T-, P-conditions of synthesis).
Information Card includes: Name, Specification, Crystal
Chemical Formula, Space Group, Z, Unit Cell Parameters,
Coordinates of Atomic Position, References, etc. Search

are realized. Special search regime allows to identify
your sample on set of experimental d(hkl) in view
of chemical composition. Calculated X-ray Powder Diffraction
Standards (CPDS) and Patterns in full and short forms,
as well as Images of Crystal Structure Model and X-ray
Powder Diffraction Line Diagram can be displayed.
