E106 Minerals
This poster shows a whopping 162 specimens,
carefully selected to include those most likely to
be encountered by the student and collector. Over
20,000 photographs were reviewed to select specimens
that would best show a diversity of color, habit,
luster, and crystals. These magnificent minerals
are presented by class: native elements, carbonates,
sulfates, suflides, halides, oxides, phosphates,
organics, and silicates. The silicates are such a
large group that the bottom three rows are devoted
to them. They are grouped by subclass, such as
nesosilicates, sorosilicates, and cyclosilicates. All of
the popular gemstones are shown.
