Synopsis

Master descriptive mineralogy with a clear, chemistry-based view of minerals and their uses.

This concise guide presents a practical approach to classifying minerals by their chemical composition and isomorphism. It explains how minerals are grouped into ten classes and describes how their properties and relationships help explain their occurrence and use in science and industry.

Written for readers who want a solid, accessible foundation, the book emphasizes how minerals are studied: their crystallography, physical traits, and chemical makeup all connect to real-world applications. It balances fundamental concepts with ready-to-use information for identification and analysis.

  • How minerals are classified into ten main groups
  • Key crystal forms, hardness, streak, and luster as identifying features
  • Examples of common minerals and how rarer ones fit into the system
  • Practical notes on occurrences, associations, and uses

Ideal for students, professionals, or hobbyists seeking a clear, reference-ready introduction to descriptive mineralogy.
