Hello, I am looking for a good mobile app to suggest to my mineralogy students for mineral identification. Something with determinative tables or something that allows one to choose property characteristics narrowing the set of possible options of their unknown mineral. The mineral apps I have encountered haven't been great. Does anyone have one they like? Thanks! Ryan Ryan Kerrigan, Ph.D., P.G.

Not an app but a good place to start is MSA's own Mineral ID website: Mineral Identification Key <http://www.minsocam.org/msa/collectors_corner/id/mineral_id_keyi1.htm> www.minsocam.org/msa/collectors_corner/id/mineral_id_keyi1.htm Andrea On Tue, Aug 26, 2025 at 11:41 AM Kerrigan, Ryan via MSA-talk < msa-talk@minlists.org> wrote: > Hello, > > I am looking for a good mobile app to suggest to my mineralogy students > for mineral identification.
