NHM Collections: Mineralogy Specimens

The Natural History Museum's Mineralogy collections contain specimens that document the diversity, composition and distribution of Earth's minerals.

This dataset provides access to digitised mineral specimen records together with associated collection information. Available data varies across the collection and may include classification, collection and specimen-related information.

The collection can support machine learning projects, geoscience applications, digital catalogues and research activities requiring access to mineralogical collection data.

Data is supplied in Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A) format.
