Royal Geological Society of Cornwall, at www.geologycornwall.com, is a new website on a famous old collecting site: the granites, pegmatites, and ore-bearing veins of Cornwall, UK.
DAKOTA MATRIX. The Black Hills pegmatites site by Tom Loomis includes two very interesting and contemporary articles about pegmatite mines in the Black Hills, South Dakota. Dakota Matrix also has its MineralPedia, an illustrated alphabetical listing of the minerals combined with short descriptions the mineral's properties, the origin of its name, as well as geographic and geologic occurrences.
Gary Freeman (Coromoto Minerals) maintains an attractive and informative pegmatite website (http://www.coromotominerals.com/index.html) that details mining at the Orchard and GE pegmatite quarries in Oxford County, Maine. The site features photo galleries of some of the best specimens from five years of mining, and there are maps, views, and text that depict the geology and show the history of mining over time.
We currently list relevant pegmatite websites here as well, and we would be happy to add more. Please send your contributions in electronic formats only to
