Welcome to

DISCOVER MINERALS

a mineralogy journal presented by the Mojave Natural Resources and Lithologic Survey dedicated to the mines, sites, mineral resources, and geologic history of the Mojave Desert region.

By its very nature, this website will always be a "work in progress," and will evolve and improve in both design and content as the weeks, months, and--hopefully--years ensue.

   The DISCOVER MINERALS issues,

being the showpiece and raison d'etre of this website, will be continuously added and updated as they are completed.

We certainly expect this journal meets with your standards, and inspires you to join the growing community of mineral enthusiasts, dealers, and fellow Earth scientists. We look forward to having you as a long-standing and valued member.
