State Mineral Indexes

Friends of Mineralogy members are coordinating the compilation of State Mineral Indexes.  Knowledgable indidividuals have been encouraged to compile and publish articles on the subject and other authors have submitted unsolicited papers on the subject.  Although all the indices listed below were written by the authors indicated, some of these indices were written independently of any efforts by FM to encourage completion of indices for all states.  The following is a compilation of State Mineral Indexes which have been published.
