Department of Geosciences, University of Arizona

This site is an interface to a crystal structure database focused on minerals and solids of interest to mineralogists. The site is searchable by mineral, author, chemistry, or cell parameters and symmetry.

This description of a site outside SERC has not been vetted by SERC staff and may be incomplete or incorrect. If you have information we can use to flesh out or correct this record let us know.

Part of the Cutting Edge collection. The NAGT/DLESE On the Cutting Edge project helps geoscience faculty stay up-to-date with both geoscience research and teaching methods.
