The Structure of the Matter, Part II - English

Contents: 27 OHP Transparencies size 22 x 28 cm, comprising 204 colour pictures with a great variety of details, mostly with several component figures. In strong plastic file with ring-mechanism.
Morphology of the minerals I. Elements and Bonds. The minerals are shown in that state, which is for a collector the most common to find in the nature. They show all the typical characteristics and enable therefore a sure identification of finds. From that minerals, which are often subject to variations of their appearance, two or more specimens are shown on one picture. Particular value was set on a correct reproduction of the natural colours and structures of the minerals.

Part 5. Crystal chemistry systematics of minerals
I. Classification of silicate minerals - 1. Elements - 2. Sulphides and arsenides (ores) - 3. Halides (salts) - 4. Oxides and hydroxides - 5. Carbonates - 6. Borates - 7. Sulphates, chromates, molybdates and wolframates - 8. Phosphates, arsenates, vanadates.

Part 6. Morphology of the minerals
II. Silicates. This series presents 56 beautiful colour photographs of the most important minerals out of the large group of the silicates.

Part 7. Morphology and microstructure of the rocks
The macrophotographs give a picture of habit and structure of the surface of the most important rocks. Microphotographs of thin sections of the same sorts in polarized light demonstrate their inner structure in colourful pictures. Review and nomenclature of the types of rocks. Survey and nomenclature of the rock types The chemistry of the eruptive rocks (magmatites) - Extrusive rocks - Clastic sedimentary rocks - Pelitic and sialic metamorphic rocks - Lunar rocks with lamellar structure caused by shock waves.

Part 8. Gems and precious stones
This series also fascinates by the beauty and the great variety of details in its colour photographs. There are shown well-known and economically interesting gems and precious stones. Forms and cuts of precious stones - Classification of gems and precious stones - Forms and cuts of precious stones - Classification of gems and precious stones - Corundum group - Beryl group - Spinelgroup - Topaz varieties - Garnet group - Tourmaline varieties - Spodumene group - Quartz group - Feldspar group.
