Publisher's Synopsis
A Key For The Determination Of Rock-Forming Minerals In Thin Sections is a book written by Albert Johannsen in 1908. This book is a comprehensive guide that provides a detailed description of the various minerals that make up rocks, particularly those that are found in thin sections. The book is designed to help geologists and mineralogists identify the different minerals present in rocks by examining their physical and chemical properties. It includes detailed information on the crystal structures, optical properties, and chemical compositions of various minerals. Additionally, it provides a step-by-step guide on how to use a microscope to examine thin sections of rocks, and how to identify the minerals within them. The book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the study of rocks and minerals, and is still widely used by geologists and mineralogists today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
