Text in German! This treatise by, Victor Moritz Goldschmidt, is one of the most recognized and comprehensive works in modern crystallography, as well as one of the rarest. The beautiful crystal drawings are second to none and are still widely copied. This classic work, reprinted in nine hardcover cover volumes by the Rochester Mineralogical Symposium, is accompanied by a supplement of German-English, English-German Listings, prepared by Steven C. Chamberlain (1987), bound with a plastic comb binding. Comprised of 31 pages, the supplement's intention was to "bridge the gap between the older German species nomenclature and modern English usage. In the first part, the German species are listed in the order they appear in each volume of the Atlas with the corresponding English nomenclature. In the second part, an alphabetical list of the English terms is given with the corresponding German names."
Comes also with the 44-page Goldschmidt's World Mineral Locality Index by Wendell Wilson (ed.)
