Mineralogy: An Introduction

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The branch of geology that deals with the scientific study of the chemistry, crystal structure and physical properties of minerals is referred to as mineralogy. It also examines mineralized artifacts. It is particularly concerned with the processes related to mineral origin and formation, geographical distribution of minerals, their classification as well as their utilization. The physical properties of minerals are classified on the basis of density, hardness, fracture, radioactivity and solubility. Some of the subdisciplines within this field are optical mineralogy, systematic mineralogy and biomineralogy. Optical mineralogy focuses on the study of minerals and rocks by measuring their optical properties. The classification and identification of minerals falls under the domain of systematic mineralogy. The book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of mineralogy. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, it makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. This book, with its detailed analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and students involved in this area at various levels. Artikel-Nr. 9781647401122
