Systematic Mineralogy has as its main goal a survey of crystalline species, the basic building blocks of all natural assemblages.
As a nascent area of investigation under the guidance of such visionaries as Romé de l’Isle and René-Just Haüy, mineralogy consisted essentially of the systematic approach. Since then, the field has evolved and developed in multiple directions. Nevertheless, systematic mineralogy remains a solid core, enriched each year by discoveries of a hundred or so new species.
This book offers an opportunity to illustrate this systematic approach in the context of mineral species with a French connection.
