About Us

MineraLogic was founded in 2008 to apply contemporary software engineering to problems in the Earth and Planetary Sciences. No one else combines our fluency with the latest technology (web and cloud based solutions, iOS and Android development, multilayered security, and distributed systems) with our detailed knowledge of mineralogy and collection curation.

Colophon

Logo: Cumengite is a rare copper-lead halide best known as tetragonal pyramids growing epitaxially on the faces of cubic boleite from the Amelia mine, Boléo, Baja California, Mexico. The mineral is named after Edouard Cumenge, a French mining engineer who found the first specimen. The background contains a representation of galena (pink = sulfur, purple = lead) and a series of truly random bits generated by the beta decay of Cs-137 nuclei.

Images: Several species appear as backgrounds including Brazilian eosphorite, twinned ruby spinel, tabular uranocircite, reticulated cerussite, prismatic neptunite with trigonal benitoite, and a fluorapatite crystal group from the Pulsifer quarry previously owned by Fredrick Pough whose Field Guide to Rocks and Minerals was read cover-to-cover by countless adults and children (including our founder).
