MSA was founded in 1919 for the advancement of mineralogy, crystallography, geochemistry, and petrology, and promotion of their uses in other sciences, industry, and the arts. The Society encourages the general preservation of mineral collections, displays, mineral localities, type minerals and scientific data. MSA represents the United States with regard to the science of mineralogy in any international context.
The Society publishes journals and books, and uses short courses, lectureships, Internet website, awards, grants, symposia, and meetings for professionals, students, and the public.

THE GIANT CRYSTAL PROJECT

Giant crystals seem to be a somewhat neglected flower in the field of geosciences. Only a limited and widely dispersed literature about this topic exists. Very few scientists are working on this subject despite the fact, that the formation of extraordinarily large crystals is still poorly understood. Giant crystals are beautiful and spectacular works of nature and are ideally suited to fascinate everyone! So, visit THE GIANT CRYSTAL PROJECT and find out just how big a crystal can grow!

This is a fantastic "Link site" Loaded with websites especially devoted to Mineralogists, Petrologists, Crystallographers and Geologists. A visit to this site will guarantee to further your knowledge
of the Earth Sciences!

Enjoy a visit to our favorite club at the
