I just finished my last geology exam ever! It was the hardest subject I’ve done. This text book was a helpful and handy guide to get me through all the practical classes. The only downside was I think annotations of the minerals in each thin section would have been clearer than a written description. This is a great guide for students.

Good base to work off for mineral identification under the microscope, by no means a definitive analysis but good for any basic microscopy

Ideal for an introduction to the most common minerals and rocks and their properties in thin section.

Very useful for rock/mineral identifcation, shows the different microscopic views for each rock/mineral included, a very handy lab guide
