The Dynamic Earth

This link is to a site that covers quite a lot of information in a very visual form....specifically Plate Tectonics, Minerals and Rocks, and the Solar System. The GeoGallery section has great pictures and a lot of information about rocks and minerals, and the Gem section has some REALLY beautiful stuff, as well as information about how gemstones are cut. It is posted by the Museum of Natural History of the Smithsonian Institution...your tax dollars at work!
