Product Description
Mandarino and Anderson are the first to bring together all of the known data on this classic mineral locality, Mont Saint-Hilaire, Quebec. This site is one of the most important sources of rare and beautiful minerals in the world. The location is outstanding, both for the rarity of its minerals anf the number of its mineral species. Over 200 mineral species have been identified a Mont Saint-Hilaire, including some found nowhere else or located only in remote areas of the earth. The numerous mineral species found at Mont Saint-Hilaire are described in detail and handsomely illustrated in almost 200 color and black-and-white photomicrographs, sketches, and crystal drawings. The text consists mostly of mineral description and addresses the interests of amateur and professional mineralogists alike. Five appendices present specialized technical data on unit cell parameters, X-ray powder diffraction, occurrence, mineral classification, and chemical analysis for the professional. The book will be a valuable aid to the reader in the identificaton and collection of minerals.
