This new edition revises a work made obsolete by the numerous developments of the past decade in gems and instrumentation. Since it is the chemical, crystallographic, physical and optical properties that characterize and identify gems, emphasis is placed on the methods and instruments used in their determination.
Features new chapters on crystal chemistry and mineral stability diagrams, more logical treatments of morphology and internal crystal structure along with extensively revised chapters on mineral chemistry and physical properties. Includes outstanding illustrations, hand specimen photographs and transmission electron microscope structure projects.
This title is a SAP multimedia CD-ROM using three-dimensional models and animated graphics to visualize complex crystallographic and mineralogic concepts. Formula substitutions permit users to perform atomic substitutions within crystal structure formulas.
