Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Completely revised and expanded, this fourth edition covers the 986 minerals found in Arizona, showcased with breathtaking new color photographs throughout the book. The new edition includes more than 200 new species not reported in the third edition and previously unknown in Arizona. Chapters in this fourth edition of Mineralogy of Arizona cover gemstones and lapidary materials, fluorescent minerals, and an impressive catalog of mineral species. The authors also discuss mineral districts, including information about the geology, mineralogy, and age of mineral occurrences throughout the state. The book includes detailed maps of each county, showing the boundaries and characteristics of the mineral districts present in the state. Arizona’s rich mineral history is well illustrated by the more than 300 color photographs of minerals, gemstones, and fluorescent minerals that help the reader identify and understand the rich and diverse mineralogy of Arizona. Anyone interested in the mineralogy and geology of the state will find this the most up-to-date compilation of the minerals known to occur in Arizona.

Download or read book Introduction to Mineralogy and Petrology written by Swapan Kumar Haldar and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2020-07-29 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to Mineralogy and Petrology, second edition, presents the essentials of both disciplines through an approach accessible to industry professionals, academic researchers, and students alike. This new edition emphasizes the relationship between rocks and minerals, right from the structures created during rock formation through the economics of mineral deposits. While petrology is classified on the lines of geological evolution and rock formation, mineralogy speaks to the physical and chemical properties, uses, and global occurrences for each mineral, emphasizing the need for the growth of human development. The primary goal is for the reader to identify minerals in all respects, including host-rocks, and mineral deposits, with additional knowledge of mineral-exploration, resource, extraction, process, and ultimate use. To help provide a comprehensive analysis across ethical and socio-economic dimensions, a separate chapter describes the hazards associated with minerals, rocks, and mineral industries, and the consequences to humanity along with remedies and case studies. New to the second edition: includes coverage of minerals and petrology in extra-terrestrial environments as well as case studies on the hazards of the mining industry. Addresses the full scope of core concepts of mineralogy and petrology, including crystal structure, formation and grouping of minerals and soils, definition, origin, structure and classification of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks Features more than 250 figures, illustrations and color photographs to vividly explore the fundamental principles of mineralogy and petrology Offers a holistic approach to both subjects, beginning with the formation of geologic structures that is followed by the hosting of mineral deposits and the exploration and extraction of lucrative, usable products that improve the health of global economies Includes new content on minerals and petrology in extraterrestrial environments and case studies on hazards in the mining industry

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Popular Guide to Minerals: With Chapters on the Bement Collection of Minerals in the American Museum of Natural History, and the Development of Mineralogy; For Use of Visitors to Public Cabinets of Minerals and for Elementary Teaching in Mineralogy This guide is intended for use by visitors to collections of minerals. While the arrangement may not be always the same in all collections, there can be but slight deviation from the commonly accepted succession given in Dana's "System of Mineralogy" (5th and 6th editions). Specimens of the various representative species of minerals will also be found to resemble each other, and illustrations and comments drawn from one highly developed collection will be found usually applicable to all others. The following pages may be found useful by almost all visitors to mineral collections, and in itself is a convenient reference. The order observed in this Guide is that of the fifth edition of Dana, but this in no way interferes with the use of the Guide when the collection inspected is arranged by that of the sixth, or in any other way, as long as the broader divisions retain their usual succession, as Elements, Sulphides, etc., Oxides, and Oxygen Salts, including Silicates. The position of the carbonates before or after the silicates, or the deviation from the plan of the Guide in the position of some mineral species, cannot diminish its usefulness, as of course in all collections, minerals of the same species or name are brought together. An alphabetically arranged Index assists the visitors to collections, public or private, to find at once any mineral he may be examining. Some of the figures of crystals in the following pages were kindly loaned by John Wiley Sons, New York, the publishers of Dana's "System of Mineralogy;" the figures of specimens of the Bement Collection in the American Museum of Natural History, were used through the kind permission of its director, and the Chapter on the History of Mineralogy, by permission of the publishers of the Scientific American. This Guide is applicable also to collections in which the species are grouped around a predominant base, by the use of the Index. It contains a reference to the famous Bement Collection, and plates illustrative of specimens to be seen in that cabinet. It has been greatly augmented in text and illustrations over the first edition, and the author has ventured, in its introductory portion, to suggest teaching lessons to teachers.
