I have compiled an extensive data base on the minerals of Wisconsin cross-referenced by county and mineral. Mineral entries are referenced to literature sources which are more thoroughly given in the bibliography database below. If there are problems or questions, you can E-MAIL me, William S. Cordua. The Nov. - Dec. 1998 issue of Rocks and Minerals magazine contains a shorter version of this information organized around a county-by-county listing of key mineral localities.
