The Kennedy Mineral Collection

The Kennedy mineral collection was donated
to Carleton College by Fred Kennedy, a long-time friend of the
geology department. Its purpose is to provide researchers
with the opportunity to obtain images and information on rare and
unique minerals, hard to find anywhere else.
The collection contains 4,000 different mineral species and over
5,000 individual specimens, mostly micromounts.
