Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lecture Notes on General and Special Mineralogy Whatever their nature, they are generally of microscopic size; Thus we often find needles of Rutile and Tourmaline in Quartz. Magnetite in Muscovite Mica; Asbestos or Amphibole and Pyrite in Quartz and Calcite. We also find small cavities filled with water, solutions of salts, hydrocarbon compounds, and liquid or gaseous carbon dioxide. The Quartz crystals in 9. Granite at Branchville, Conn., contain so much liquid carbon dioxide that they are said to explode with considerable noise when broken. Many Topazes also contain the same substance. It is also quite com mon to find glassy inclusions in the minerals found in some lavas, as Leucite in some of the Italian rocks. The use of the microscope in the examination of thin sect-ions of rocks has shown how com mon all these different kinds of inclusions are. Minerals, then, have their homogeneity locally disturbed by all such inclusions as have been mentioned; but if we consider the mineral apart from the inclusion, it is homogeneous. Theoretically it is possible to separate these inclusions from the parent mineral, but practically, on account of the microscopic fineness to which they are sometimes reduced, the feat is often impossible. However, we may disregard such slight disturbances of homogeneity and consider the sub stance as a mineral, though in reality it is a mineral aggregate. If we use the word mineral in the most exclusive maxmer, then all inorganic secretions and concretions which have been made by animals or vegetables are not to be classed as minerals. Examples of such substances of animal origin would be corals, shells, and bones; while coal, amber, and infusorial earth represent the vego table kingdom. Neither are artificial inorganic substances made by man in his laboratory to be considered as minerals; so that all these facts show us that there are many inorganic substances which do not come within the province of Mineralogy, which is a branch of Inorganography, if I may coin a word which is used in other languages but not in English, which therefore is a more com prehensive subject than Mineralogy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mineralogy: An Introduction to the Study of Minerals and Crystals This text is the result of long experience in teaching large classes of beginning students, and the subject is accordingly presented in a direct and simple manner. The essentials of the various phases of the science have been treated so that a single book may serve the needs of the average student. The conventional line drawings of crystals, which students commonly have difficulty in properly visualizing, have been superseded to a very large extent by excellent photographs of crystal models, natural crystals, and minerals, such as are actually handled in the laboratory. These are all original photographs of material contained in the various collections of the University of Michigan. Furthermore, an attempt has been made to vitalize the subject as much as possible, and accordingly there are chapters on the importance of mineralogy in modern civilization, on gems and precious stones, and on the production and uses of the important economic minerals. Numerous photographs and short sketches of distinguished mineralogists have also been introduced in the hope that they will add a human touch. The chapters on crystallography are based very largely upon the senior author's Essentials of Crystallography, while much of the material in the descriptions of the 150 minerals given in this text has been taken from his Descriptive Mineralogy. The determinative tables are an abridgment of the authors Mineral Tables. We are greatly indebted to Mr. George R.Swain, technical expert in photography in the University of Michigan, whose varied experience and unusual skill made the excellent photographs of models and minerals possible; also to Dr. George P. Kunz for valuable assistance in securing a considerable number of very desirable photographs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Mineralogy In the preparation of the revised edition of this book, it has been considered advantageous to make somewhat fundamental alterations in several places. The advance of Mineralogy in recent years, the changed points of view of economic mineralogists, and the needs of the present-day student, have all been deemed to justify such changes; indeed, one indication of the need for some such revision was shown in the ever-increasing collection of appendices that were to be found in the former editions. Nevertheless, it has been the reviser's endeavour to conserve as much as possible of the original, and all alterations have been carefully considered. Part I. treats of the Properties of Minerals. The original chapter on Crystallography has been entirely rewritten, and a chapter on Optical Properties has been added, which, it is hoped, will be found useful to the student. Part II. consists of the description of Mineral Species. Here the original arrangement has been followed, except in regard to the silicates. New introductions to the elements have been given; specially important among these are introductions to the principal metals, which, together with certain statistics, have been supplied by Mr. W. G. Wagner. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

Download or read book A Text Book of Important Minerals and Rocks written by S. E. Tillman and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book of Important Minerals and Rocks: With Tables for the Determination of Minerals This book is the slow outgrowth of the efforts to meet the necessities of this institution for a convenient text-book of the important minerals and rocks. The number of mineral species has reached nearly one thousand and is constantly increasing. Of this number less than one-tenth is of common occurrence or can be considered of much economic importance, and a small proportion of this same tenth includes the essential constituents of all rocks. To embrace in descriptive text all mineral species necessarily results in an embarrassing mass of matter for the general student. Similar embarrassment, though to a less extent, is experienced in complete descriptions of all the rocks. To reduce these descriptions to a convenient yet satisfactory form for general students is the object of the present effort. There are described in the book about seventy-five distinct species of the important and, in the main, common minerals, and the principal members of the different classes of rocks. It is thought that the selection is extended enough for general purposes, and it includes abundant material for the study of both minerals and rocks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Determinative Mineralogy: With Tables for the Determination of Minerals by Means of Their Chemical and Physical Characters This book has been prepared primarily for the use of stu dents in determinative mineralogy, but it has also been made sufficiently inclusive to meet the demands Of the geologist and the mining engineer in all but the rarest cases. The accompanying tables include 380 minerals, or from 100 to 150 more than are fully described in the current textbooks. Besides the more common minerals and those of economic value as ores or otherwise, many of the less common and even rarer species have also been included. Some idea of relative importance is suggested by the sizes of type in which the names are printed. Those that have been omitted are very rare and, from a practical point of view, of little present importance.
