It's indispensable for beginners and experienced micromounters alike. The advantages of collecting tiny mineral and crystal specimens, to be viewed beneath a stereo-microscope, rather than macro specimens, becomes increasingly apparent as one progresses through this wonderful book.Chapters include, Beginnings, Collecting, Prep, ID, Mounting, Conservation, Optics, Photography, Symposia, Micromounters Hall of Fame, Bibliography (eight pages-double column and an enormous resource all by itself) plus 5 appendices: Micromounters Hall of Fame, Trading Specimens, Water-Sensitive Materials, Storage Cabinets and Tools for Paper Inserts ?
