Description
Minerals can be difficult to identify. In addition, many people cannot tell the difference between a rock and a mineral. Minerals come in all kinds of shapes, sizes, and colors. Even recognizing the same mineral that has a different color can be a challenge. Mineral Identification Made Easy includes a basic introduction to, and instruction in, minerals. Focusing on some simple principles of identification should help you to sort out some of the conundrums, and make mineral collecting more enjoyable, especially for the lay person. And of course, the Biblical perspective you have come to expect! This study is designed for middle school through high school.
