Wikipedia:WikiProject Rocks and minerals
This is a WikiProject, an area for focused collaboration among Wikipedians. New participants are welcome; please feel free to participate!

This WikiProject's goal is to define a standard infobox for using in rock and mineral entries. Eventually, after general agreement, project's focus will change to facilitating the conversion of the existing rock and mineral articles to the agreed upon format discussed in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Rocks and minerals.

Parentage[edit]
Other[edit]
- WikiProject Gemology and Jewelry is closely related.
- Other related WikiProjects are WikiProject Elements, WikiProject Chemicals, and its Chemical infobox discussion.
- Also see the various discussions on infoboxes, currently broken into at least two areas: infobox and the infobox talk page.

I based the content of this table on information found in various places:
I based the format in part on the table used for chemical compounds such as:
Explanations[edit]
- There's much discussion about colors in the infobox discussion. I don't see that, in this topic, more than one color adds any significant or obvious information. (E.g., we could do one for metamorphic rocks, one for sedimentary rocks, etc., but I don't know that it's particularly useful to do so.) Elf
- The compounds table doesn't have a title with the name of the compound; instead it's listed as a small item under General. I think it's clearer to have the name at the top, as with animals and several other table categories. Elf
Comment history from original location[edit]
- Good choice of colour. It really stands out. Is it possible to condense it a bit? Maybe this should be moved to a Project space. mydogategodshat 09:45, 3 Feb 2004 (UTC)

This would be my suggestion. There are two reasons:
- 1. common characteristics into more details
- 2. it will be easier if to translate if its the same in all languages, as there are already some in German.
In the German project there are there missing:
I hope the translation is correct. Please have a look at it. For example:
Crystal class: is a classification by Carl Hermann und Charles-Victor Mauguin (Hermann–Mauguin notation) or Arthur Schoenflies (Schoenflies notation).

- Note, critical mineral raw materials: most important mineral groups were known at the end of the XIX Century. Many U and uranyl minerals came later with the nuclear technology. Monazite, bastnäsite and loparite-(Ce) became important REE sources with the widespread use of electronics (monazite is not used because of the production of thorium waste as by-product). Rhodium and titanium is important too. --Chris.urs-o (talk) 07:36, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
