Bringing together all 927 mineral species found in Spain, the bilingual Atlas of Spanish Minerals is the most extensive and detailed catalog of Spanish mineralogy ever published. A true treatise, it is the culmination of the monumental nine volume Minerals and mines of Spain, which Miguel Calvo Rebollar began publishing in 2002.
The book ranges from classic Spanish minerals, such as fluorite and pyromorphite, to recent discoveries, such as alcantarillaite and fehrite. The species are photographically documented using macro and micro photography as well as by scanning electron microscopy, thin foil microscopy, and reflected light microscopy. This volume is the collaborative efforts of scientists, institutions, and private collectors from across the globe.
Unlike any other volume, the Atlas of Spanish Minerals illustrates the great abundance, variety, and beauty of the minerals of the country. The work is structured according to Strunz’s classification and has a complete onomastic index. It is an epic work and a necessity in every collector's library.
