	MINERALOGY - LoveToKnow Article on MINERALOGY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Later, the investigation of rocks in thin section under the microscope led to the exact determinationr particularly by A. Des Cloizeaux (1867), of the optical constants of rock-forming minerals.
		Even when the substance is opaque in large masses, it may be sufficiently transparent when in small splinters or in thin sections for the determination of the optical characters.
		Only those minerals which are described under their respective headings in these volumes are included: the list therefore serves, at the same time, as an enumeration of the more common and important species and varieties of minerals, and as a system of classification it is necessarily incomplete.

	Journal of Geoscience Education: Integration of New Methods into Teaching Mineralogy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Mineralogy is of fundamental importance to the geosciences (solid earth, planetary, soil, hydrological, environmental, and ocean sciences) because the composition, structure, and physical properties of minerals ultimately control natural chemical and mechanical processes.
		Mineralogy has traditionally been one of the cornerstones of the geoscience curriculum, but recent trends in the job market, coupled with an explosion of new knowledge in all disciplines, have called into question the relevancy of the traditional curriculum.
		Mineralogy is also particularly needed by K-12 educators: the first questions asked by students about geology are usually fundamentally grounded in mineralogy, such as "What mineral is this?" The problem is not that mineralogy is irrelevant, but rather that new methods and materials for teaching mineralogy are needed to demonstrate fundamental principles.

	Mineralogy: A history of blowpipe analysis by Martin on 4/21/2002
		It should be remembered, however, that no one method is perfect for everything, and in the case of blowpipe analysis, it usually cannot be used to distinguish between species containing the same elements, although it may be used to help determine which elements may be present.
		For over twenty years a widely used college text on mineralogy included a revised but inadequate treatment of the subject, in which steps in tests were changed or deleted in an attempt at simplication.
		As for the blowpipe, its earliest recorded uses in mineralogy were that of Robert Hooke in 1663, and that of Erasmus Bartholin in 1669 or 1670.

	Dana's System of Mineralogy
		This work covers the history of mineralogy, physical and chemical properties of minerals, crystallography, descriptions of about 200 mineral species, the occurrence of ore deposits, and a brief discussion of rock identification.
		Because of the broad coverage of so many areas of mineralogy and the depth of the coverage, the Manual of Mineralogy after J. Dana is the personal favorite of most geologists.

	Mineralogy Notes
		The science of mineralogy is the study of the physics and chemistry of natural, solid, crystalline materials.
		Mineralogy is a fairly mature science in that most of the minerals that occur in the Earth are well known and have been thoroughly described.
		European Journal of Mineralogy is published jointly by the mineralogical societies of France, Germany and Italy, and Neues Jahrbuch fuer Mineralogie is published by the Deutsche Mineralogische Gesellschaft (mostly in English).

	Journal of Geoscience Education: Optical Mineralogy in a Modern Earth Sciences Curriculum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Yet, where questions are raised about the appropriateness of mineralogy courses in a geoscience curriculum, optical mineralogy appears to be one of the prime targets.
		The questioning of the appropriateness of teaching optical mineralogy in general is a relatively recent phenomenon which mostly relates to the restructuring of geoscience departments and programs.
		Mineralogy in a stricter sense is taught on the next level, before or simultaneously with optical mineralogy.

	L.H. Conklin - James Sowerby
		British Mineralogy: Or Coloured Figures Intended to Elucidate the Mineralogy of Great Britain is complete with 550 hand-colored plates of minerals and rocks, all, presumably, executed on copper by James Sowerby, and each accompanied by a letter-press discussion of the depicted subject, also by Sowerby.
		Exotic Mineralogy: Or Coloured Figures of Foreign Minerals, as a Supplement to British Mineralogy was also issued in parts, between 1811 and 1820 as enumerated in Table 2.
		Exotic Mineralogy, because of its 167 colored plates, is second in importance only to Sowerby's own earlier work, British Mineralogy, in the mineral color-plate book category, and had that work never been published, Exotic Mineralogy would be the most significant publication ever in terms of size, scope and quality of workmanship.

		If you are going to use a limited number (ten or fewer) stamp images from the Philatelic Mineralogy website on a non-commercial website—that is, if you are going to use the images for educational purposes only—you have my permission to copy and use them.
		The Philatelic Mineralogy website started life in 1996 as a website with the cumbersome title "Gem, Rock, and Mineral Postage Stamps from Around the World." Due to the rather primitive nature of web browsers in 1996, the site's pages were constructed from very simple HTML.
		The use of frames on the Philatelic Mineralogy website allows separately scrollable lists of country and mineral names to be displayed along with the pages that feature the stamps.
