The 400 photographs in this encyclopedia are therefore both a visual pleasure and also an essential means of identification. The text describes for the layman and the collector of many aspects of rocks and minerals - formation, location, history, cultural and technological uses. Marginal notes list the main physical and chemical characteristics of the minerals and line drawings illustrate their structures.
