: Data on refractive indices, optic axial angles, and density, often correlated with chemical composition.
: It serves as a "bible" for advanced students and professional research workers in mineralogy, petrology, and geochemistry.
: Includes minerals like wollastonite, rhodonite, and bustamite.
: Tabulated chemical analyses, structural formulae, and phase equilibria in relevant systems.
: Descriptions of atomic structure and X-ray methods for identification.
