Systematic Mineralogy Based On A Natural Classification (1892)

Systematic Mineralogy Based On A Natural Classification is a book written by Thomas Sterry Hunt and published in 1892. The book is a comprehensive guide to the study of minerals and their classification based on their natural properties. Hunt, who was a renowned geologist and chemist, provides a detailed analysis of the physical and chemical properties of minerals and how they relate to their natural classification. The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a specific aspect of mineralogy. The first section provides an introduction to the study of minerals and their properties, while the second section focuses on the classification of minerals based on their chemical composition. The third section discusses the physical properties of minerals, such as their crystal structure, hardness, and color. The fourth section of the book is devoted to the study of mineral species, including their identification and characterization. Hunt provides detailed descriptions of each mineral species, along with their chemical composition, crystal structure, and physical properties. The final section of the book covers the application of mineralogy in various fields, including geology, mining, and metallurgy. Hunt provides examples of how mineralogy can be used to identify mineral deposits and to extract minerals from ores.Overall, Systematic Mineralogy Based On A Natural Classification is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of minerals and their properties. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both students and professionals in the field.With A General Introduction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
