Reminding myself about crystal structure, and remembering what some of my 'pretty rocks' are.

Figurato. Ordinato. Rifinito.

Got a bit basic in places (anybody who can read a word like "chalcopyrite" probably isn't going to be needing quite so many bare-bones explanations). But very nicely designed, pretty, and compulsively readable (like I've come to expect from DK guidebooks). At first I was a bit put out that they didn't include the chemical compositions of the substances along with the text...until I found that they were listed in one of the (many) appendices. :)

Neat little book for identifying some things. I wish there were more rocks listed though.
