THE ULTIMATE mineral site: the Mineralogy Database!

On Nov 19, 2009 I added this rotating globe that shows where folks are who visit my Earth Science page. Most recent visits have names of location - so you can see your location and who else is on at the same time. After a short time - 5-10 minutes? - just a small red dot appears. Thanks to the LPOD for the idea, and to the folks at Revolver Maps for the script!
