Description

Master optical mineralogy with this comprehensive guide to crystal identification using the polarizing microscope. This Springer educational resource teaches geology students practical techniques for determining mineral composition with exceptional precision, including methods for measuring refractive index to better than one part in a thousand. Learn to identify quartz, analyse plagioclase anorthite content, and determine pyroxene magnesium ratios through hands-on microscopy work. Designed for beginning students, this book requires minimal theoretical background while delivering the practical skills needed for accurate mineral analysis in the field and laboratory.

Key Features

Springer-published educational guide focused on polarizing microscope techniques for precise crystal identification.

Practical methods for measuring refractive index in minerals with accuracy exceeding one part in a thousand.

Step-by-step instruction for identifying quartz and determining plagioclase anorthite content using optical mineralogy.

Accessible approach requiring very little training or advanced theory to develop professional-level mineral analysis skills.
