It started with one collection

Behind Aussie Mineral Hub

Aussie Mineral Hub was created by Josh Grigg, a Central Coast mineral collector of more than thirty years, who sources minerals and crystals from around the world with a focus on Australian specimens. It began as somewhere to catalogue that collection properly, instead of leaving it in containers and a spreadsheet.

It has grown into a full mineral index and a hub for Australian minerals and crystals: a page for every mineral, covering what it is, how to tell it apart from the things it is mistaken for, where in the world it comes from and which Australian localities produce it. You can read about mineral specimens from Australia and from around the world, each on a page of its own.
