Useful Links

Mindat.org - A very nice searchable database with a good deal of information on mineral species, localities, etc.

Galleries.com - Another good link for information on composition, localities, and other information on mineral species.

Well-Arranged Molecules - A good, reputable dealer of fine mineral specimens at a reasonable price. He generally carries more higher-end specimens than I do and he has very good taste. If you do buy from him, let him know that Paul sent you.
