Mineralogy is a subject of geology specializing in the scientific study of chemistry, crystal structure, and physical (including optical) properties of minerals and mineralized artifacts. Human Evolution has been linked to minerals from its very inception right from pre-historic Stone Age to Bronze Age to the Iron Age. So we can say that minerals and metals have always caught fancy of mankind. The present book has been prepared as per university curriculum for the major course in mineralogy, it covers important traditional context of mineralogy their geologic context, crystallography, chemical, bonding, mineral structure, stability nature and occurrence of minerals. Salient Features: 1. This book is suited for everyone including undergraduates, post-graduates, researchers, and academicians 2. The book has development of the subject from basic to advanced levels 3. The book is categorically designed to be user friendly and easy to read. 4. The book provides supporting data in the form of illustrations, tables and reactions so as to make the topic easy to understand. 5. Each part of the book has subsections.
