Best Introduction to Mineralogy out there!!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
For anyone interested in learning the basics of mineralogy, this is the place to start! Easy to read and understand. Great section on the Crystal Systems. Most mineral or mineralogy books spend most of the book on photographs, which is great, but this book focuses on giving the reader the basic understanding to know what they are looking at in the many fine "picture books" already out there about minerals.
