The Ore Minerals Under the Microscope: An Optical Guide, Second Edition, is a very detailed color atlas for ore/opaque minerals (ore microscopy), with a main emphasis on name and synonyms, short descriptions, mineral groups, chemical compositions, information on major formation environments, optical data, reflection color/shade comparison with four common/standard minerals of a similar color or grey shade, and up to five high-quality photos for each mineral with scale. In addition, the atlas contains a compilation from some of the prominent publications in the field of ore microscopy presented on a list of 431 minerals. - Concise, full-color pictorial reference for scientists and geologists - Explains how to describe and identify microscopic samples of minerals - Draws material from prominent literature yielding more than 400 different minerals

"This book is a very detailed ore microscopy atlas in colour, containing observations for some 430 minerals (mostly opaques and a few gangue minerals). Its main emphasis lies on the display of the respective mineral's most important optical properties (shown in up to 5 high-quality photos for each mineral with scale). The colour plates are supplemented by brief tabulated data, such as name and synonyms, mineral group, chemical composition, major formation environment, reflection colour/shade, and reflectivity. Wherever reflectivity data were not available, the respective value was estimated on the basis of some 4 common/standard minerals of a similar colour or grey shade."--BOOK JACKET.

Provides an up-to-date introduction to the subject of ore microscopy, emphasizing the basic skills required for the study of opaque minerals in polished sections. Describes the modern ore microscope, the preparation of polished and polished-thin sections of opaque minerals and ores, and the identification of these minerals using both qualitative techniques and the quantitative methods of reflectance and microhardness measurement. Later sections discuss the interpretation of textural intergrowths of ore minerals and the determination of their paragenesis, along with the examination of coexisting minerals for determining their physio-chemical conditions of formation. Appendices contain the data necessary to identify approximately 100 of the more common ore minerals and those frequently encountered by the professional scientist.

Microscopy is a servant of all the sciences, and the microscopic examina tion of minerals is an important technique which should be mastered by all students of geology early in their careers. Advanced modern text books on both optics and mineralogy are available, and our intention is not that this new textbook should replace these but that it should serve as an introductory text or a first stepping-stone to the study of optical mineralogy. The present text has been written with full awareness that it will probably be used as a laboratory handbook, serving as a quick reference to the properties of minerals, but nevertheless care has been taken to present a systematic explanation of the use of the microscope as well as theoretical aspects of optical mineralogy. The book is therefore suitable for the novice either studying as an individual or participating in classwork. Both transmitted-light microscopy and reflected-light microscopy are dealt with, the former involving examination of transparent minerals in thin section and the latter involving examination of opaque minerals in polished section. Reflected-light microscopy is increasing in importance in undergraduate courses on ore mineralisation, but the main reason for combining the two aspects of microscopy is that it is no longer acceptable to neglect opaque minerals in the systematic petrographic study of rocks. Dual purpose microscopes incorporating transmitted- and reflected-light modes are readily available, and these are ideal for the study of polished thin sections.

Introduction to Ore Microscopy is a brief introduction to the science of Ore Minerals. It is designed to help undergraduate and postgraduate students of Geology and Earth Science for their practical course. The book gives a comprehensive, handy and scientific description of ores which form a part of Ore Geology and Economic Geology. Illustrated with a wealth of full-colour and black-and-white polished section photographs, the book explains how to observe ores under the microscope in the reflected light. Besides dealing with the texture, structures, and paragenesis of ore minerals, it also deals with the methodology to study physical and optical characters of important ore minerals, such as Sulphides, Arsenides, Antimonides, Molybdenites, Tungstate, and Oxides ores. A brief description mineral paragenesis, paragenetic diagrams, and some important ore-deposits of India and other parts of the world are also given. The book will also prove to be useful for those working in the mineral industry.
