And this new reissue makes identification easier, with new cleavability ratings for each entry alongside the handy classifications based on streak colour, Mohs hardness and specific gravity.

Great photography

A good addition to my mineral library. I like the good, close-up photography. It actually helped me ID an aegirine sample I have. I recommend it to any mineral reader, especially a beginner like me...
