Important Update News

The RRUFF Project is being updated to improve its interface and content. The beta version of the update is accessible to the public at RRUFF.net. New data is only being added to the beta site. Please note that it is in development, and some components are not functional. Existing RRUFF.info links will resolve to the new site after RRUFF.net is officially released.

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.
