5.0 out of 5 stars
Great for mineralogy lab classes
Despite its price this is a great book to have for aspiring geologist or anyone taking a mineralogy class. It has clear colored pictures of how the thin sections supposed to look under the microscope which helps greatly in lab classes. It is also very detailed about mineral optics without having to look all over the book.

3.0 out of 5 stars
not so enthused
I was expecting to be the one to weather this book. I did not expect the amount of damage and use it came in per the order description. Oh well... teaches me to be more delicate.

This is a good book for those who are starting in mineral optics. It has good pictures and some good explanations. I would recommend this book to any one who is interested in optical mineralogy or if they have to take an optical mineralogy class

First time mineralogy student.. My book (textbook) fails miserably in the picture department, regarding some scratch test information (this book is not offering that information to the best of my knowledge!) and for descriptive ability..I am halfway through the semester, and have bought several additional books looking for one that can help me pick my way through this course.. This one is very good. It's not perfect, doesn't offer all the varieties in color pictures, not even the ones described within, but it provides a noteworthy number, has excellent tables, and explains things fairly well.. Better than my 130 dollar used textbook, and I would also like to note that the refracting spectrum ? I obviously still have a long way to go lol) is better than any I have so far seen. The colors are portrayed much, much better, there's actually a discernible difference between the three or four levels and I'm impressed with that.. speaks well of the printer they used. I recommend it to my classmates.. Evidently it's the unmentioned optional lab manual to the class lol.. I think it's fabulous.. better than most of the reference works I've seen in the past several months.
