Explore. Extract. Research.
Mineralogy.rocks provide seamless and simple way to access and filter mineralogical and related data. Our platform is designed both for researchers and developers.
Start with exploring the data
The platform is developed by the researchers for the researchers. Our goal is to provide data for scientific needs in a coherent fashion. Find the proper data subset and explore the relations between minerals.
Researchers
Check out our filtering system at mineralogy.rocks/explore. We are working towards a platform that would allow making complex queries, combining those and exploring the results.
WHERE discovery year between 1999 and 2001
AND discovery country in EU
AND mineral formula contains As5+
Developers
The data is accessible via api.mineralogy.rocks through your favourite http client. Reach out to us if you need an API key.
Extract the data
The platform makes the data extraction easy and simple. No matter what data you need - you can savely extract it to your local machine.
let queryParams = {
color: "blue",
cations__in: ["Cu2+"],
anions__in: ["OH-", "O2-"],
discovery_year_max: 1998,
...
}Flexible data fetching
Export the data in a preferred format or connect your application directly to our API. We are updating our data services in order to meet the evolving demands of research community, please contact us in case of specific data format/output needs.
Share the query
All filtering systems are connected to the query params of the URL string - you’ll never loose your results once you obtained them.
Do research
We will gladly assist you in finding the right data in a right format. We believe in open science and open source—things that make our lives better.
