Welcome to the New England
Geoscience Portal
This is NEMA’s growing hub for state-by-state geology and earth-science resources across New England. Start with Maine to explore original mine pages, photo galleries, and curated links to mines and mineral localities, museums, clubs, field trips, maps, educator resources, books, and more. There’s something for everyone here!
- Curious about the stories behind some of Maine’s most interesting mines?
- Educator looking for fresh geoscience resources for your classroom?
- Want ideas for where to hunt for minerals on your own or visit museums and rock shops?
- Hoping to explore maps, data, and links on Maine geology, fossils, and even outer space?
- Ready to dive into free books, maps, and publications about Maine’s rocks and minerals—and so much more?
A note from Jeff Morrison
President of NEMA
This website is a work in progress and managed by Jeff Morrison in association with the New England Mineral Association. The site was designed to help expand and bring awareness to the geoscience field. My love is with minerals and because of that there may be some bias; I won’t apologize for that.
One of the reasons for putting this site together is that there is a tremendous amount of information scattered across the internet. Unless you know what you are looking, and exactly how to hunt for it, it can be difficult to find. Some sites can also be difficult to navigate. There is not much I can do about some of that, but in some cases I have put links to areas that I think are interesting inside a website to make them easier to locate.
If you see where we can make this page easier to navigate, I am open to suggestions. If you know of more pages that would possibly be beneficial to this site send me a link and if I agree it is beneficial, I will add it. Feel free to reach out to me with suggestions at: haveyquarry@gmail.com.
Jeff Morrison is the owner of the Havey Mine, one of the featured mines in the Maine Geoscience Portal.

Additional note from the author: I take no responsibility for any of the inaccuracies on some of these sites (including external sites that we link to). While some of these sites are updated frequently, many may go years with being checked by the original creator. If it might involve going to one of the localities or an event, I would highly recommend double checking times, availability, and access.
