Dana's Manual of Mineralogy is a comprehensive guide for students of elementary mineralogy, mining engineers, geologists, prospectors, collectors, and anyone interested in the study of minerals. Written by James Dwight Dana and first published in 1912, this book covers a wide range of topics related to minerals, including their physical and chemical properties, crystallography, classification, identification, and occurrence in nature. The book is divided into four parts, with the first part providing an introduction to mineralogy and the second part covering the physical properties of minerals, such as color, luster, hardness, and cleavage. The third part delves into crystallography, including crystal systems, symmetry, and forms, while the fourth part explores the chemical properties of minerals, including composition, reactions, and classification. Throughout the book, Dana provides detailed descriptions and illustrations of various minerals, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the study of minerals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
