Comprising a guidebook and a full color CD-ROM, this reference
set offers illustrated essentials to study mineralogy, applied to
petrology. While there are some excellent reference works available
on this subject, this work is unique for its data richness and its
visual character.
With a collection of images that excels both in detail and
aesthetics, 151 minerals are presented in more than 400 plates.
Different facies and paragenesis, both in natural polarized light,
are shown for every mineral and optical data, sketches of the
crystal habitus, chemical composition, occurrence and a brief
description are included. The accompanying user guide gives a
general introduction to microscope mineral observation, systematic
mineralogy, mineral chemistry, occurrence, stability, paragenesis,
structural formula calculation and its use in petrology.
This compact set will serve as a field manual to students,
researchers and professionals in geology, geological, mining, and
mineral resources engineering to observe and determine minerals in
their studies or field work.
