Charles A. Sorrell
Because of their immense variety and intrinsic beauty, minerals have always been objects of fascination and curiosity, yet serious study of their properties is a relatively new science.
This guide introduces students to the science of mineralogy, emphasizing chemical relationships and crystal structures with some attention paid to rocks and major geological rock types.
Covers the history of mineralogy as a science, how different types of rocks are formed, the atomic structure of minerals, the many faces of crystals, the laws of symmetry, and crystal systems.
Features thorough listings of hundreds of mineral types with properties and occurrences, accompanied by detailed, full colored illustrations. Also devotes some space to lunar minerals, rocks, and lunar glasses. With additional resources list and index.
280 pp., softcover.
