Minerals Of Pennsylvania (1913)

The book ""Minerals of Pennsylvania"" was written by Amos Peaslee Brown and was first published in 1913. It is a comprehensive guide to the minerals found in the state of Pennsylvania, including their physical and chemical properties, as well as their geological origins and the locations where they can be found. The book is divided into two main sections: the first section provides an overview of the geology of Pennsylvania, including the different types of rocks and minerals found in the state, while the second section is a detailed description of each mineral species, organized alphabetically. Each mineral description includes information on its crystal structure, chemical composition, physical properties, and occurrences in Pennsylvania. The book is illustrated with numerous photographs and diagrams, making it an invaluable resource for geologists, mineralogists, and anyone interested in the natural history of Pennsylvania.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
