Links to Other Resources


My policy for adding links: 

I receive on average about five requests each week to have a reciprocal link to another website.  If you want to link to Trinity Mineral Company that is your business. I am not adverse to providing a link from Trinity Mineral Company to another site obviously.  However, I will only add a link to another dealer's site if I have met and know the dealer personally. 

PLEASE do not ask me to give you a link unless we've formerly met and have done business together for some time.  A link is an endorsement of the person I am referring my customers to.  If I do not know you I can not possibly endorse you. 

Thank you,  John


 

Educational, Reference and Service Websites

Mineralogy Database - The A to Z List  - David Barthelemy maintains a comprehensive listing of every species with chemical and Strunz data and much more!  Easily one of the best resources for people interested in minerals whether they're a museum curator or beach comber. I use it all the time!!!

MinMax - Mineralogy Database - Don Zampano has done a remarkable job of putting together a very comprehensive listing of all mineral species and their pertinent info such as chemistry, type locality and other localities for their occurrences.  A very slick operation!

Mindat.Org - Jolyon Ralph has a fantastic operation here with a full listing of all known species and locality information that can be cross referenced.  It also allows for people to dynamically add locality info.  I expect to make Mindat.Org a regular stop daily!

Barite Specimen Localities - Bill Dameron has put together an impressive listing of known barite localities and he has pictures of specimens from most of them.  If you like BaSO4 then this is a site for you!

Pegmatite Interest Group - PIG - This is a site spear headed by Dave London and dedicated to creating a forum for learning about pegmatites, appreciating pegmatites more, and sharing information about pegmatites.

The following links take you to a metaphysical site in the Netherlands that has compiled comprehensive information on crystallography and morphology of crystals.  The sites cover the six basic crystal systems in great detail.  I find these site very useful for quick on line references. You have to excuse some of the spellings. (I have sidestepped the pages on metaphysical stuff since all I care about is the good technical information on crystallography .)

Isometric Crystal System
Tetragonal Crystal System
Hexagonal Crystal System
Orthorhombic Crystal System
Monoclinic Crystal System
Triclinic Crystal System

Pegmatopia - Another fine informational website developed by Dave London on current research and the program in general at the University of Oklahoma.

The Mineral and Gemstone Kingdom  -  A site where it is clear that someone went to a GREAT DEAL of work to put together a very usable and friendly website!

Mineral Galleries - Amethyst Galleries with the first commercial mineral site on the planet and one hell of great data base of mineral facts and information.  If they had a dime for every time I went to their site ... it's frightening!

Athena Mineralogy Database  Another well done and complete website with a lot of useable info such as type locales and photos of reference specimens.

Real Gems  A very fine reference website on gemstones and gem crystals from M. Peters in Germany.

Liroconite.Com - David Aubrey-Jones has pieced together a fine website centered around his infatuation with the mineral liroconite.  Everything that you would or could ever want to know about the mineral and history of some of the mines in Cornwall is right here.

Clean Rocks - Tim Sherburn - Hey! If you have a rock in need of professional cleaning, trimming or other forms of curation you need go no further than Tim Sherburn! Tim's worked under Cal Graeber and Bill Larson for years and has a hundred and one tricks up his sleeve to clean up any rock!
