Mineral Raman spectra reveal vibrational modes of crystal lattices and molecular units through inelastic light scattering. Raman excels at distinguishing polymorphs (calcite vs. aragonite, anatase vs. rutile), identifying gemstones, and characterizing inclusions — often through glass, water, or transparent packaging without sample preparation.
Raman mineral identification supports gemology, art conservation, planetary science, and field geology with portable spectrometers. Browse mineral Raman reference spectra on SpectralBench — compare lattice modes, overlay your measured spectra against verified standards, and download data as CSV or JCAMP-DX.
Have an unknown spectrum? Match it against this entire library with HQI similarity scoring — no install, no data leaves your machine.
