Raman spectra of minerals acquired at Caltech.
The spectra in the Caltech Raman database are now incorporated into the RRUFF project,
a combined database with 2847 spectra.
- Raman
spectra acquired at Caltech (the original on-line database of
Raman spectra of minerals) - most are crystallographically
oriented; many have chemical analyzes.

gems,
fluids, glasses and pigments posted at the Geofluids
Laboratory of
the University of Siena, Italy. Pictures of the spectra only.
- Raman spectra and photos
of minerals from Queensland University of Technology. A sparse
collection of pictures of Raman spectra with many pictures of minerals.
CrystalSleuth
Software. A software package used to identify unknown
minerals from their Raman spectrum with an extensive mineral database
from the RRUFF
project. It is also capable of analyzing and manipulating
both Raman and powder diffraction data sets.
