About this app

Minerals guide

The free application "Minerals guide" is very friendly, it has a beautiful and simple interface. The best choice for a pocket dictionary that is always at hand. From which you can learn a lot of new and interesting things, for example, that:

Sinhalite
Sinhalite is a borate mineral with formula MgAl(BO4).

Kassite (mineral)
Kassite is a rare mineral whose chemical formula is CaTi2O4(OH)2. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system and forms radiating rosettes and pseudo-hexagonal tabular crystals which are commonly twinned. Kassite crystals are brownish pink to pale yellow in color, are translucent, and have an adamantine luster. Cleavage is distinctly visible, and the crystals are very brittle.

Tephroite
Tephroite is the manganese endmember of the olivine group of nesosilicate minerals with the formula Mn2SiO4. A solid solution series exists between tephroite and its analogues, the group endmembers fayalite and forsterite. Divalent iron or magnesium may readily replace manganese in the olivine crystal structure.

All it is is a shortcut to the Wikipedia page of each mineral. Seriously. Might be handy shortcut, obv, and you can favorite, which could help you keep track of your wishlist or collection, which is why I gave 3 stars. Worth noting it does not have metaphysical properties, unless they happen to be on the Wikipedia, which I find they usually aren't.

This application is "growing" on me. More I use it. It was slow in the beginning. However nothing to do with the app. It is good resource!

This is a good tool if you know the mineral name. I just found this app, and I'm impressed with the number of minerals and content on each. However, I don't see any way to search for a mineral based on crystal habit, hardness, streak, and color. Regardless, I will purchase it.
