Mineralogy deals with the predominantly crystalline building blocks of the geologi-cal matter surrounding us, the minerals. Since this geological matter served as a natural environment for humans from the beginning of their existence as a habitat and source of raw materials, the study of minerals as raw materials, building materials, materials and jewelry has always been a vital necessity. Mineralogy from this point of view is one of the oldest sciences. The increasing production and use of technical materials led to the fact that the concept of minerals today has also been extended to synthetic products <...>

The purpose of the present text is to provide a concise survey of the history of mineralogy and crystallography through the year 1919. Hopefully, it reflects this rich area of study showing the development of these important scientific endeavors from simple origins through a maturity, which today some might regard as no more than technical art. This is mirrored in the fact that few people now would claim mineralogy as a science balanced on the edge of significant discovery, but that was not the case in the past. Then, mineralogy and its companion study crystallography, were important investigations with each new discovery being widely publicized and debated. Many researchers, some of whom may be counted among the greatest geniuses of the human race, explored, contemplated, and wrote about minerals and crystals. This history tries in some measure to spotlight these people and their discoveries. It is also written as a companion work to Mineralogy and Crystallography: A Biobibliography, which fully describes many of the books relevant to these studies across the same time period <...>

Microscopy is a servant of all the sciences, and the microscopic examination of minerals is an important technique which should be mastered by all students of geology early in their careers. Advanced modern textbooks on both optics and mineralogy are available, and our intention is not that this new textbook should replace these but that it should serve as an introductory text or a first stepping-stone to the study of optical mineralogy. The present text has been written with full awareness that it will probably be used as a laboratory handbook, serving as a quick reference to the properties of minerals, but nevertheless care has been taken to present a systematic explanation of the use of the microscope as well as theoretical aspects of optical mineralogy. The book is therefore suitable for the novice either studying as an individual or participating in classwork. <...>

Since time immemorial the minerals, rocks and soil had been the major attraction for the growth, development, and survival of every living entity including human, animals, birds, plants, and trees. That indeed forced us to know more about the minerals (mineralogy) and the rocks and soils (petrology).

This book is intended for use in an introductory optical mineralogy course. The objective in preparing the book was to present in a single volume of reasonable size both a thorough treatment of optical theory as it pertains to mineral identification with the petrographic microscope, and detailed mineral descriptions of the common rock-forming minerais. The first seven chapters <leal with optical theory and provide an introduction to the properties oflight, a description of the petrographic microscope, and a discussion of the optical properties of isotropic and anisotropic materiais. Detailed step-by-step procedures have been included to guide students through the measurement of optical properties in both thin section and grain mount. Selected spindle stage techniques also are included. <...>
