Over 115 striking color photos display pyroxene group minerals in all their forms and colors. The Pyroxene group of rock-forming minerals is best known to collectors through well-formed diopside crystals from many localities, including those in Canada, the northeastern United States, and the Alpine regions of Europe, and also through the gem-quality spodumene found in pegmatites from California to Pakistan. Spectacular recent finds of diopside in Pakistan, hedenbergite at Dalnegorsk, Russia, and aegirine in Malawi have added to the interest in this mineral group.
