Here are a variety of Sketchfab links to 3D mineral and rock samples - not complete but probably a good starting point. There are some real positives to this approach, especially for sharing samples with others and in 3D printing. Not an ideal replacement for hands-on, for sure, but good enough to make basic visual observations about shape, habit, modal proportions, etc.
