Manual Of Mineralogy After James D Dana

Provides a general introduction to minerology through a study of basic concept, principles, and techniques of the discipline and also through focused analysis of specific minerals. Explains the relationship between chemical composition, internal structure, and physical properties of crystalline matter.

The classic in the field since 1848, this extraordinary reference offers readers unsurpassed coverage of mineralogy and crystallography. The book is known for integrating complete coverage of concepts and principles with a more systematic and descriptive treatment of mineralogy. The revised edition now includes a CD-ROM to let readers see the minerals and crystals, while also viewing chemical composition, symmetry, and morphological crystallography.
