How to link to www.mindat.org

Example Code:

The following code can be copied and pasted into your website for a simple link. Feel free to alter the description text, but make sure you keep the link the same.

Requesting Links:

Please note that we do not do banner exchanges. We only link to sites that have genuine content relating to minerals, mineralogy or geology. We specifically do not want to link to any shopping directories, jewellery stores or any link farms.

If you have a genuine site that has common interests to us then we are delighted to link to you!
