Minerals of the World

Minerals of the World is a guide to more than 500 minerals from around the world. The text - covering crystallography, properties, names and varieties, structure, diagnostic features, and occurrence - and the discussion of less common minerals not found in other guides make this an invaluable resource. With over 600 color photographs and crystallographic diagrams, this book is unequalled. It is set to become the field guide of choice for mineral collectors and students of mineralogy.
