A System of Crystallography, with Its Application to Mineralogy

""A System of Crystallography: With Its Application to Mineralogy"" is a book written by John Joseph Griffin and originally published in 1841. The book is a comprehensive guide to crystallography, which is the study of the physical and geometric properties of crystals. It covers topics such as crystal structure, crystal forms, and crystallographic axes, as well as the methods used to study crystals, such as X-ray diffraction and polarized light microscopy.The book also explores the application of crystallography to mineralogy, which is the study of minerals and their properties. It discusses the identification and classification of minerals based on their crystal structures and forms, and provides detailed descriptions of many common minerals.Overall, ""A System of Crystallography: With Its Application to Mineralogy"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of crystals and minerals. It provides a detailed and comprehensive overview of crystallography, and its application to the field of mineralogy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
