Mineralogy in OPMLThe Earth is made of minerals. There are a lot types, and many are stunningly beautiful. [More cool photos at my friend Tim Ivanic's page.] The array of different minerals and classes is mind-boggling, and for a geology student it can be quite taxing to learn the names and properties. I spent many an hour sticking Post-it notes into Deer, Howie and Zussman (the undergrad's bible), trying to make sense of it all.I would have liked to view the mineral classes and sub-classes/varieties as an outline. Imagine an online "Rock-forming Minerals Outline", of all the major minerals, with links to photos and descriptions. |
