Ages 7 to 14 years. Minerals are non-living natural materials and are the most common substances on Earth. Rocks are composed of combinations of minerals. Some minerals are easy to find such as silver, quartz, copper, and halite (salt). Others are rare and much harder to find such as diamonds. This intriguing new book takes a close-up look at minerals and their role in the formation of rocks. Topics include: the composition of different rocks and minerals; temperature and pressure create different kinds of minerals; how igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are created; the rock cycle; t

This extensive revision deals with the minerals talc, pyrophyllite, chlorite, serpentine, stilpnomelane, zussmanite, prehnite and apophyllite. The text has been completely rewritten and very much expanded to take account of the many advances that have been made in all aspects of the Earth sciences, not least mineralogy. Each chapter is headed by a brief tabulation of mineral data and ends with full references. Crystal structures are described and illustrated, followed by discussion of structural information gained from spectroscopic as well as X-ray and electron-optic methods. Chemical section

This major revision takes place 40 years after publication of the first edition, and deals with feldspathoids, silica minerals and zeolites. The text has been completely re-written and very much expanded, incorporating the advances in knowledge and understanding arising from the new and improved techniques for the study of minerals that have developed. Each chapter is headed by a brief tabulation of mineral data and sketches showing optical orientation, and ends with full references. Diagrams of crystal structures are presented and followed by discussion of the structural features, making use

Industrial Minerals, including construction raw materials, provides the bulk of the solid minerals required by most developed countries, both in tonnage and value. In other countries, the discovery and extraction of industrial minerals is an essential stage in economic development. This book contains a comprehensive coverage of the subjects that occupy professional geoscientists working in industrial minerals and the extractive industry. It includes descriptions of the geology of many deposits, country and regional reviews of industrial minerals, mineral economics, case histories of extraction
