Mineralogical information

	IMA mineral properties database, useful as a means of avoiding errors or confusion. The IMA-RRUFF Project is creating a complete set of high quality spectral data from well characterized minerals. The website will contain an integrated database of Raman spectra, X-ray diffraction and chemistry data for minerals.
	This is the most powerful source of information on minerals, localities and photos. The amount of information held in the system is massive. While it may take a visitor some time to find what they want among all this data, it is without doubt very useful.
	Forum for discussion and divulgation on mineralogical topics like mineralogy, mineral deposits, photography of minerals, mineral analysis, public and private collections, museums, etc…Is a meeting point where both amateurs and professionals learn, teach and share knowledge in an atmosphere of mutual respect. With several specialized sections and its own advanced software, FMF has a scientific spirit that makes it different from other regular forums.
	FMF Gallery is a database of some of the images of minerals published in FMF. It is under continuous construction and you can find in it a long list of minerals and their geographical origin. Currently the gallery is divided into six sections: Micros and macros; Minerals of Spain, Portugal and Morocco; Collections; Mines and mining localities; Minerals from USA, UK and Germany, and finally a gallery devoted to rocks. The FMF Gallery has several thousands of minerals and rocks, which can be found with a quick and convenient search system.
	A large compilation of mineralogical data with many photos. They have put a lot of effort into offering the maximum amount of data. It is German, but as we all speak a common mineralogical language it is not hard to understand.

	The other great US magazine, which is also great for its news, information on collections and on finds.
	Spectacular French magazine with information on a wide range of localities, although they are very specialized in the French ones. Unfortunately, it is no longer being published, but their website still has issues of the magazine available, as well as numerous high-quality books.
