Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a practical guide to identifying minerals based on their physical properties. Published in 1911, it predates the widespread use of advanced techniques like X-ray diffraction, relying instead on readily observable characteristics. The author, drawing on years of experience in the field and laboratory, carefully organizes minerals by their luster, color, streak, and hardness. The book's focus extends beyond simple identification, exploring the practical significance of mineral occurrences and associations. It highlights the connections between minerals, providing insights into their formation and geological context. The tables presented within the book are designed to be user-friendly, allowing readers to quickly and confidently distinguish between similar-looking specimens. This book, while published over a century ago, remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring the fascinating world of mineralogy.
