Mineral Search 2000 is an interactive, search oriented database of 670 minerals on CD-ROM, designed for Windows 95 or later. The database includes 20 properties for each mineral and  photographs for most. The software also includes a Cataloging tool for your mineral collection. The program's Main Menu directs you to the following program features.  Click on the photos below or Program Screens navigation button above to view enlarged screen images.

Browse (right) - This unique tool browses 15 minerals at a time, displayed photographically like a slide show, or use the Browser for quick, single-click navigation to a particular mineral.

Mineral Name Search - Find over 600 primary and 1,000 more related mineral names. Scroll from a list or type in the first few letters of your search.

Property Search (left) - This is not just another generic word search, but highly customized to result in the most effective mineral identification search possible. Search for any combination of Specific Gravity, Hardness, Refractive Index, Color, Streak, Luster, Crystal System, Chemical Formula, Mineral Group, Locale, and more.

Using Name Search, Browse, or Property Search to select a mineral takes you to its full display, with standard size photograph and 20 properties of that mineral. (See right)

Subdatabase - Choose to work with All 670 Minerals in the database, or just the 300 most Common Minerals, or just the 100 Gem Minerals.

Dana No: Included for each mineral. Sort either by Dana Number or alphabetically.

Photographs - for almost all Common minerals as well as many uncommon ones, but the CD-ROM needn't be inserted to run the program. For less common minerals in the database lacking a picture, you can add your own photographs.

User Notes - The flexible database allows you to add more data to each mineral, save it, and search through it later. Record additional mineral locales, for example, or for the gemologist, add more optical data on a gem mineral.
