Just a quick update here.  I have now added a Rune Index, Metals Index, and Minerals Index to the Grand Exchange Central database.  Now all the runes, ores, bars, and minerals (such and coal and limestone)  can be reviewed in the database.  I have still to add gems.  I also added a database search which should make finding items easier as the database grows.

BTW:  Before anyone yells at me for lumping coal in with minerals even though coal in the real world is not a mineral, I have to plead creative liberty.  Generally speaking coal is not a metal and therefore didn’t seem to fit within the metals index even though coal is used in many processess involved with metals.  Additionally, coal is often dumped in with minerals in real world contracts concerning mining rights and taxibility.  In truth, coal is strictly speaking a rock and would maybe be best placed with Gems but other rocks are included in the minerals database and therefore I put coal there.  Maybe I’ll just change the name of the index to rocks.  In the future I may add coal to the metals index since it is so involved with metals, but for now I am going to stick with my minerals choice.
