The problem of insufficient expert to analyze and interpret solid minerals has constituted a waste of natural resources in some parts of the world and also, in most cases the mineral phases are under explored.Resources will be there wasted since no one in such area has the required expertise to identify such valuable resources.

A useful and time sharing learning aid could be provided for anyone interested in mineral resources identification.Loss of vital knowledge through the death of human expert canequally
be combated by back up storage.
