The U. S. Geological Survey Minerals Library is an
infrared spectral library of 78 minerals. Most of the minerals are silicates. The majority
of the mineral samples were acquired from the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural
History. Other samples were made available by the Hunt and Salisbury collection in Denver,
CO; staff members of the USGS; the Clay Mineral Society Source Clay Mineral Repository;
the University of Massachusetts; Princeton University; Harvard University; Arizona State
University; and Burminco. Thermo Scientific has acquired permission to copy and distribute
the library. The spectra were originally acquired
at 4 cm-1 digital resolution and were mathematically deresolved before adding
them to the library. |
