Reddit reviews Introduction to the Rock-Forming Minerals

I'm a professional mineralogist and I have that book at my desk, It's a pretty helpful guide sometimes. I also recommend Simon & Schuster's Guide to Rocks & Minerals and Introduction to the Rock-Forming Minerals

This is the mineral "bible" that I used during my degree. I had the second edition, but a new one came out a couple of years ago. I think it's got pictures now. Either way, it's got absolutely everything you need in it.

Publisher Link - best for a summary of what's in the book. I think it's also cheaper from there directly too.
