Short description: The RRUFF project provides empirical analyses of minerals, including cell parameters, chemistry, Raman and IR spectroscopy, as well as photos and a large set of references and open access pdfs.
-
Sample types: Minerals (> 1000 ?)
Spectra types: Raman spectra over the Mid/Far-IR (mainly 100-1300 cm-1 + low resolution broad scan: 100 to >4000 cm-1), Infrared ATR absorption spectra, VNIR and MIR reflectance spectra, X-ray
Search tools: Interface with Keywords: Mineral name and Chemistry (list of included/excluded elements), references. Also provide a standalone software: CystalSleuth, which allow to seach by best fit of part or all your spectrum, or through the alphabetic list of minerals.
Data format: ASCII (.txt), Xray (Raw and DIF)
Preview format: static and interactive, with filters
Metadata: Sample ID and name(s), IMA formula, measured chemistry, status, locality (origin), description, source (provider and owner), image, laser wavelength, sample orientation, crystal parameters, mineral general references
Metadata format: data header:
