Excerpt from Mineralogy
The first edition of this introduction to the study of Mineralogy was published in 1892. Since then the book has been reprinted three times, but till now without revision. Starting with the idea of a simple revision, I have found it necessary to rewrite and to enlarge it; but in doing this, I have been careful to retain the essential features of its original arrangement.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an introduction to the study of mineralogyâ"the scientific examination of the physical and chemical properties of minerals. The author begins with morphological characteristics like the geometric form, symmetry, zones, and classifications of crystals. In doing so, the author lays the groundwork of crystallographyâ"the detailed study of crystals and their properties. Next, physical characteristics are explored in detail, including cleavage, tenacity, hardness, color, pellucidity, and luster. All of these characteristics can be used to identify and classify minerals. The third and final part of the book explores the chemical composition of minerals, including polymorphism, isomorphism, and pseudo-morphism, as well as classification by chemical composition. This section provides the chemical framework for understanding the diversity of minerals. This book serves to introduce mineralogy, the study of minerals, to a range of students and scholars.
