Hi All,
I was wondering where on the www some of you might direct a person to  
find a good reference site for identifying meteorite minerals.   
Something that a layman could digest that includes crystal information  
and commonly occurring colors of the different minerals, etc.  I am  
trying to find out what a colorless almost quartz looking material  
is.  Looks like the color of dishwater.  It is the majority  
constituent of the matrix.  It's not heavy like quartz.   I found one  
very good site  nau.edu.  I'd like to find a couple more if they are  
out there and accessible.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
