The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Minerals and Rocks (Octopus Publishing)
Rocks and minerals have always held a dual appeal for man-as objects of fascination and beauty and for their historic and scientific interest. The four hundred photographs in this encyclopedia are therefore both a visual pleasure in themselves and also an essential means of identification.
The text describes for the layman and the collector the many aspects of rocks and minerals-formation, location, history, cultural and technological uses. Marginal notes list the main physical and chemical characteristics of the minerals and line drawings illustrate their structures.
