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 ones that would best show a
diversity of color, habit, luster and crystals. These
magnificent minerals are presented by class: native
elements, carbonate, sulfates, sulfides, halides,
oxides, phosphate, organic and silicates. The silicates
are such a large group that the bottom three rows are
devoted to them. They are grouped by sub-class, such as
nesosilicates, sorosilicates, etc. All of the popular
gemstones are shown. |
