[edit] INTRODUCTION TO THE ROCK FORMING MINERALS

This text attempts to provide a short account of the more important minerals encountered in many undergraduate courses in mineralogy and petrology. It also aims to present the basic data essential to the understanding of minerals, especially in relation to the environment of their formation.

This revised edition has entailed a thorough re-writing of the text, taking account of the impressive advances that have been made in all aspects of earth sciences, particularly mineralogy, over the recent years. *Quantitative and qualitative correlations between the various aspects of mineralogy are shown wherever possible, providing a scientific understanding of minerals *Tabulated data and optic orientation sketches at the head of each section aim to make identification of each mineral clear and accessible *Tabulations include unit cell parameters, and reflectances and Vickers hardness for opaque minerals *Selected references illustrate the different approaches to the study of minerals and include review publications of particular mineral groups *Ideal text for undergraduate and postgraduate students of mineralogy, petrology and geochemistry
