Live session #5 Using MinDat online database

Recorded live session in which I show how to use the MinDat.org website when collecting minerals and rocks. Topics covered include searching for photos and information about a particular mineral, locating sites and finding which mineral you have in front of you based on properties.

This skill also comes in handy when identifying minerals yourself, which is why it is also covered in the Basic Minerals Recognition Course!
