This is a very informative book. It is quite helpful in the field of gemology, as well as the intended field of geology.

I will be short and to the point. I just took mineralogy this fall, and this book was pretty good. It's not a sit down and read type of textbook, however. It comes in handy during optical mineralogy with microscopes, and for learning terms. The information for each mineral is well documented with optical, chemical, physical, symmetry, and locations where they're found. One thing I would have liked was color pictures and even thin section images, but there are other books for that. Overall, it's very helpful for anyone he needs a good guide or is just starting in mineralogy.
