Of special interest is the feature that a great many of the rare species are illustrated, which are normally not thought of as photogenic and are therefore not illustrated in other mineralogical books. The book contains information about minerals from 8,500 of the world's localities. A special effort of the authors was to list the most recently discovered or productive localities, together with well known classical localities, and to emphasize their mineral assemblages and their geological environments. There is an information on 4,340 valid mineral species, including their chemical formulas, accompanied by a coding according to Strunz chemical-structural classification system. The descriptive information includes: appearance and size of crystal or aggregates, as well as the other principle physical properties, or those which we believe are most likely to be useful for mineral determination. The text is accompanied by 1,050 color photographs of typical specimens of a standard available to current mineral collectors, although a few superior specimens are illustrated. Also mentioned are the great mineral localities with the highest numbers of type minerals and with impressive numbers of all found mineral species. The text is supplemented by a list of mineral localities, with minerals found on each locality; in digital form is the list available separately from the publisher. This book is designed to meet the needs of all mineralogists, professional and amateur, including mineral collectors, museum curators, and mineral dealers: in short, to all mineral lovers.

PESKY POLICIES & THINGS I FEEL I HAVE TO SAY:
**If you bid it, you buy it - this is eBay's policy and a shame I have to put this in my listings - I will not cancel an auction after it has been won and I do not accept returns.
**Please ask ALL questions prior to bidding/buying and review all photos as they are part of the description of the item.
**Payment is expected within 48 hours of auction ending (another one of those pesky eBay policies). I utilize the automatic unpaid item assistant. I understand life and am not heartless, should there be a situation please communicate it and we will work something out...unless you fall into the category below...
**Please note that colors MAY appear different than they actually are due to differences in electronics and monitor/screen set up.
**What you see is what you get, so please review all photos; pictures are worth a thousand words.
**I have a smoke free home however, some items are estate finds, if there is an odor at the time of listing, I will note that in the condition above.
**I have a dog...a chihuahua, she's very small, if that makes any difference :)
**I am not interested in ending an auction early, except for a million dollars...I would end an auction early for a million dollars...but feel free to make a bid!
SHIPPING:
**I put the most inexpensive shipping options on the listing; make sure you select the shipping tab for shipping options. If there are no additional shipping options, then that is the lowest cost to send this particular item. Priority mail includes insurance, so for higher dollar items, this may be the reason no other shipping options are listed.
**I have other items listed and happy to combine shipping when paid for in one transaction. Please request an adjusted invoice if you are purchasing multiple items (cannot combine invoices after payment has been made).
**Shipping utilizing the US Postal Service to Hawaii and Alaska may take longer than eBays estimated shipping time given the distance, please keep that in mind when bidding/buying.
*I use eBay's Global Shipping Program for international shipping, unfortunately I do not control the cost for international shipping.
PHOTOS:
**All photos are of the actual item(s) and have been taken for this listing (unless noted above). Please review all photos completely, all items are sold "as-is" and are not returnable.
**We do our best to accurately and faithfully describe items, we on occasion do miss one or two flaws, PLEASE REVIEW PHOTOS for things we may have missed and ask questions prior to bidding.
**If you receive an item that is not accurately pictured/described, please contact us immediately and we will do our absolute best to find a solution.
RETURN POLICY:
**I DO NOT accept returns, please bid responsibly (and preferably sober as this is not one of eBays mandatory return options).
**If I send you an item that is not what you bid on, then I absolutely will take this item back, (and be immensely apologetic for my error) other than that...You win it you get it!
Thanks for stopping by, Happy Bidding!
