Book Synopsis Quartz and Its Varieties by : Albert C. Bates
Download or read book Quartz and Its Varieties written by Albert C. Bates and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Quartz and Its Varieties: Including Rock Crystal, Amethyst, Agate, Jasper, Agatized Wood, Smoky Quartz With a Description of Localities Quartz and its Varieties was printed in parts, beginning in the June and ending in the December, 1895, number of The Mineral Collector. In writing the articles, my aim has been to describe in detail the famous old localities which still afford specimens of the mineral, the more recently discovered and little known localities, and the character of the material found at each of them. I have avoided, as far as possible, mention of the exhausted localities, or those which have afforded a very limited supply of specimens, even though they were of exceptional interest. I realize that many localities worth recording have not been mentioned, for the reason that the facts relating to them were not accessible to me. The editor of The Mineral Collector, Mr. Chamberlain, and the few collectors who have expressed an opinion relative to the matter, believe that if the articles were printed in pamphlet form, they would be acceptable to collectors generally. Because of the arrangement of the localities, an index is not considered necessary. I shall be glad to be informed of any American localities affording quartz or any of its varieties, not fully mentioned in the following pages.
