The physical and chemical properties of metallic, nonmetallic, gem and rock-forming minerals are detailed; as are optical properties, hardness, specific gravity, cleavage and more.
Igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks are examined; their origins, typical geologic structure and significance. Also touches on fossils and how they are formed. Additional resources, index.
