Important Update News

The RRUFF Project has been migrated to RRUFF.net. Please update your bookmarks immediately, if you have not done so.

The data on this website is already three years out of date, and the entire website will be taken offline before the end of the year.

We are grateful to NASA for the funding of this effort.

Only display mineral occurrences with a max age below: and a max age above:

Alternately, only display mineral occurrences without an age:

This page displays localities at which this mineral is found, and estimates of the oldest possible geologic age of the mineral at these localities.
