Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bulletin
This Bulletin does not pretend to be a text-book of Mineralogy; it has, however, been found necessary, in order to facilitate the recognition of the various minerals, to give a short description of the appearance and character of each. In the case of precious stones this description has necessarily been in somewhat more detail than in the case of other minerals. In these descriptions the symbol G has been used instead of the words Specific Gravity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
