Minerals of Nevada Format: Paperback

Nevada has an extraordinary diversity of minerals, some of them unique to the state and some the focus of human exploitation for millennia. Minerals of Nevada is the first synoptic catalog of Nevada minerals, listing every mineral found in the state along with the places where they occur. The book includes the geologic history of the state, the history of mining in Nevada, descriptions of significant mineral deposits and mining districts, maps, and an album of striking color photographs of rare and important minerals.

Stephen B. Castor is a retired research scientist from the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology, where he worked for more than twenty years, mostly on studies of mineral deposits. Since retirement, he has consulted on uranium, zinc, rare earth, and lithium deposits.

Gregory C. Ferdock is the owner of CGF Geological Resources and a consulting mineralogist and economic geologist.
