excellent

This book is useful for more than one subject. Optical mineralogy, petrology, mineralogy so it is a good buy. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to get into or know more about mineralogy/optical mineralogy, and petrology.

A Mineralogy Text That Is Easy to Read

My search for an appropriate introductory mineralogy text is over! Dexter Perkins has written a book that actually makes the complex and conceptual content of mineralogy accessible to sophomore students. (Well, it does take some effort; he is not a miracle-worker.) His explanations are clear, concise, and descriptive. I highly recommend this text.

Mineralogy course material

When I took my first course in mineralogy it was Perkings' Mineralogy that was recommended as a study book. I am still using this in my mineralogy hobbies and studies. I have found book very useful in crystallography and hand specimen identification. I gave grade 4/5 to the book because of the lacking mineral specimen crystal morphology pictures which is very interesting in further development in classical crystallography.

Book order

We were very happy with the quick delivery of this book. The condition of it was excellent. I would definitely do business again.
