Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a compendium of mineralogical history, documents new mineral discoveries, technical advancements and the evolution of scientific understanding in the 1899-1909 period. 1899 was a key year for crystallographic study, as evidenced by the many new names introduced in the First Appendix, including arsensulfurite, arsensulphuret, mosesite, and souesite. This book advances that knowledge, introducing 64 additional species, including the new classification of hitherto unnamed substances described in the Second Appendix, such as ardennite, arzrunite, and artinite. The author's observations on the nature and properties of these new discoveries provide key insights into the diversity and complexity of minerals. In doing so, this book expands our knowledge of the mineral kingdom in unprecedented ways. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333495831_0
