About

Minerals.net was started in 1996 by Hershel Friedman, as an interactive and educational guide to rocks, minerals, and gemstones. It was one of the first of its kind providing detailed information of these topics in an interactive setting. Minerals.net contains research pages of hundreds of minerals, indexed and categorized, as well as various documents on mineral topics. The site had been growing steadily since its inception, and had increased in search engine rankings to become one of the top sites under both keywords "minerals" and "gemstones". Minerals.net currently has over 350,000 monthly visitors and is just shy of a million pageviews per month.
A determination to redesign the website and update it was initiated in 2007 after several years of inactivity. Hershel partnered with Joseph Haas to redevelop the site with a new, interactive format, as well as revamp the existing content and add new material. In January 2014, Minerals.net was once again redesigned, with many new features added. A mobile version was launched in December 2014.
Our goal is to continue providing information in an interactive and user-friendly form. We hope to provide useful educational information on all well-known minerals and gemstones, as well as other less-known favorites of the author. We try to keep the information simple enough for learning students and novices, but at the same time provide exhaustive research and details for enthusiasts and experts. We hope to always provide this site as a free online service, and maintain our costs by advertising.
