Recent and Upcoming Special Editions
Dakota Matrix Special Editions are theme-based updates which concentrate on localities, mineral groups such as sulfosalts or phosphates, or type locality minerals for example. Actual examples of previously released Special Edition themes are shown below. Special Editions are released on a random schedule and are not announced in advance like the New Addition pages. You must download the exclusive Dakota Matrix Notifier to be informed when the Special Editions are released. The Notifier is a pop-up image, which utilizes .Net script. An example of the pop-up is shown below.
The image will pop-up in the lower right corner of your screen when we release the Special Editions. It will continue to pop-up every 30 minutes for 72 hours. Detailed information and downloading or uninstall instructions can be found below. Click on the image below to Download.

Once downloaded, a small icon will appear in the lower right corner of your screen. When Dakota Matrix publishes a Special Edition Update, the NOTIFIER (screen shot above) will pop-up in the lower right announcing the update. We developed this tool to give any customer the chance to be the first to view and purchase the mineral specimens on the Special Edition. We have been told many times that our New Additions, which are always announced ahead of time, sell too fast to buy. Now, the Notifier, will give you the competative edge and first shot at these minerals.
A few Notes:

- The Dakota Matrix Notifier will allow you to receive notifications as soon as new products are released.

- A small window will pop-up in your lower right screen every 30 minutes.
- You have the option of turning off the Notifier by simply clicking the RED “Turn-Off” button.
