Description

Colour is the most obvious property that the microscopist uses in the identification of opaque minerals. This book sets out to answer the question why do particular opaque minerals have the colours that we see? It includes not only the colour of an opaque mineral seen in plane polarized light but also the colours of anisotropic minerals viewed between crossed and slightly uncrossed polars. Beginning with an explanation of the physiological aspects of colour perception and the CIE (Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage) numerical colour specification, the author goes on to examine in great detail the physics of light and its reflectance. A major part of the book contains descriptions of about 270 of the principal ore minerals as regards their crystal structures, electronic structures (where known) and quantitative colour data. The book is extensively illustrated and has eight colour plates.
