This book contains information about minerals from 8500 localities of the world. A special effort of the authors was to list the most recently discovered or productive localities, together with well known classic localities, and to emphasize their mineral assemblages and their geologic environment. There is information on more than 4200 valid mineral species, including their chemical formulas, accompanied by their Strunz classification. The descriptive information includes: appearance and size of crystals or aggregates as well as major physical properties, or those we believe are most likely to be useful for mineral determination. This book is designed to meet the needs of all mineralogists, professional and amateur, including mineral collectors, museum curators, and mineral dealers.
