This WikiProject's goal is to improve and maintain the quality of the articles, lists, templates, and categories within its scope, including rocks, rock units, minerals, mineral groups, gemstones, and related topics.

Specific goals:

• Bring every article and list in Category:WikiProject Rocks and minerals as close to Featured Article or Featured List status as possible:

• Make sure all articles are properly referenced.
• Maximize compliance with the Wikipedia manual of style.
• Clean up tagged articles.

• Make sure every article about a rock, mineral, or mineral subgroup/series has an infobox (see below)
• Standardize the formatting of Infobox rock and Infobox mineral and make sure all relevant parameters are included.
• Make sure all rock and mineral-related talk pages are tagged with both {{Category:WikiProject Rocks and minerals}} and {{Category:Geology}}
• Keep the WikiProject Rocks and Minerals community active, growing, and well-supported.
• Discuss the content of Rock and Mineral articles on Wikipedia and the direction that WikiProject Rocks and Minerals should take (see talk page).
• Define a standard infobox for use in rock and mineral entries (goal completed in late 2000s)
