This remarkable compendium provides chemical, physical, crystallographic, X-ray, optical and geographical data on over 2200 alphabetically arranged species. Included are nearly one thousand spectacular full-color photographs. They have been carefully selected to illustrate the outstanding features of a wide range of minerals. Clifford Frondel of Harvard University, and Editor of the Dana System of Mineralogy says in his foreword to the book, "For those to whom recourse to mineral collections is inconvenient, or, in the case of rare minerals, unavailing, or for those who wish only a quick reference or overview, the color plates of this useful encyclopedia are invaluable." These photographs were taken and pre- pared in one of the most extensively equipped laboratories for the photomicrographing of minerals in the world. The authors of the Encyclopedia of Minerals recognize the fact that major published sources now available give conflicting data on nearly one-third of the known minerals. In this volume the most acceptable data on each species are carefully selected and collated for ready reference. While suspect or un- certain species status is sometimes included, it is marked accordingly. Each of the over 2200 minerals covered is given an item-by-item description. The data include chemical formula, hardness, density, cleavage, habit, color-luster, mode of occurrence, crystal system, class, space group, lattice constants, strongest diffraction lines, and optical constants. Scientists, mineralogists, and the thousands of enthusiasts who have made the collecting of minerals and gemstones one of the fastest growing hobbies in the world will welcome this definitive volume.
