In 2008 the owners of The-Vug.com decided to create a publication to promote the website, a digest sized magazine, between 48-96 pages, filled with articles and photographs devoted to a different topic for each issue.

The first issue was released for the 2008 Tucson Gem and Mineral Show and well received, which lead to a quarterly publication for four years, 16 issues, always focused on a different topic.

Topics like Fakes and Forgeries in the Mineral World, Gem Minerals, California, San Benito County, St. Lawrence County New York, Chester County Pennsylvania, Maryland, Colorado, Fossils, Mineral Oddities, and more. You can visit MineralMagazine.com to read the original PDFs for free.
