Minerals and Rocks: Exercises in Crystallography, minerology, and hand specimen petrology

This lab book is designed to accompany any text for the mineralogy-petrology course. It contains 35 self-contained exercises and is thus valuable for either lab work or self study by the student. Most of the exercises contain extensive background material and worked examples allowing the student to work through the manual without the aid of a lab assistant. So that the lab instructor does not need to design the assignments most of the exercises also contain all the relevant details needed for the exercises. Spirally bound, students may remove assignments to be handed in to course instructors.
