Más información sobre el libro
From the dustjacket: "In the Earth's crust lie numbers minerals that are of considerable value to man - some easily accessible, some deeply concealed. They differ in structure, distribution, chemical composition, and physical properties, as well as in color and superficial appearance. This book gives detailed information about all the important kinds of minerals and provides color plates that demonstrate to amateur and specialist alike the beauty of the mineral kingdom. The Foreward is by Dr. G.F. Claringfull, former keeper of mineralogy and now director of the British Museum of Natural History. As he states, there are not many really fine mineral collections in the world. However, this book provides an opportunity to study at leisure some of the best specimens, which few people have the opportunity to see."
