This book is all about
minerals. This fascinating scarce text comprises a wonderfully detailed handbook
on the subject of mineralogy. Considered by many to be the ultimate
encyclopaedia of mineralogy, this text is very comprehensive and detailed, and
has provided the basis for a plethora of other mineralogy and crystallography
books.
This note explains the
properties of light and its interaction with mineral grains. Also describes
transmitted light petrography in the identification and familiarization with major rock forming minerals in grain
mounts and thin section.
