Photo atlas of mineral pseudomorphism

Pseudomorphism, where one mineral is replaced by another mineral while maintaining the crystal form of the original mineral, is far more common than currently thought and is extremely important in understanding the geologic history of rocks. There are many examples of pseudomorphs but they have never been brought together in a single reference book. The Photo Atlas of Mineral Pseudomorphism features high-resolution, full color pseudomorph formations together with the original minerals that they have replaced. This book will serve as the essential reference book for mineralogists, geologists and anyone else who encounters a form of mineral pseudomorphism.

• The only reference book on mineral pseudomorph formations
• 500 high-resolution full color photos along with a theoretical explanation of the geological processes that resulted in the pseudomorph formation
• J. Theo Kloprogge has more than 25 years of experience as a mineralogist. He has written 250 papers in peer-reviewed journals, authored several chapters in reference books and has been collecting minerals for 35 years
