THE CHARACTERISTICS AND OCCURRENCE OF MINERALS

MINERALENS EGENSKAPER OCH PARAGENES

This compendium is to be used in identifying minerals both macroscopically and microscopically. Minerals are described with reference to their chemical formulae and crystal systems, variation in mineral composition, hardness, colour, brittleness, cleavage, crystal form, occurrence, frequency, diagnostic characteristics and diffraction values. The classes employed are: elements, sulphides, halides, oxides and hydroxides, carbonates, nitrates, borates, sulphates, chromates, phosphates and arsenates, wolframates, silicates. The publication contains a comprehensive index. /TRRL/
