Not only will you enjoy reading this book, you will be amazed at what you will learn about the practical aspects of mineral identification, with the assistance of the Determinative Tables and the listing of Geologic Environments of Minerals. Its purchase is highly recommended for students. Len Ettinger's more than decades of expertise in exploration geology is obvious. This is indeed a book to teach the practically applicable basics of field mineral identification and prospecting techniques. -Revered Australian gemologist Grahame Brown, former editor of the Journal of the Gemmological Association of Australia-----------------------------The Rockhound and Prospector's Bible is more than just a basic text for the gold-panner or rockhound.

Geochemical Methods of Prospecting for Non-Metallic Minerals by Igor' L. Komov,A. N. Lukashev,A. V. Koplus Pdf
Geochemical methods of prospecting for and evaluation of minerals are applied widely today at all stages of geological exploration. However, geochemical methods of prospecting for many classes of non-metallic minerals have not been elaborated. This book is a completely revised, updated and expanded edition of the publication by the same authors, which was published in 1987. The contains a collection the latest data on geochemical prospecting for non-metals, which is valuable in view of the anticipated increase of consumption and utilization of non-metallic minerals in the future. The information on various types of raw material is presented in the following sequence: 1) general data (genetic types, conditions of formation, geological prospecting indications); 2) indicator minerals and elements; 3) geochemical methods of prospecting along dispersion trains and haloes, plus hydrogeochemical and geobotanical methods; 4) primary endogenic haloes; 5) vertical geochemical zonality; 6) methods, stages and sequence of work.
