The poster begins by defining a
mineral and then explores the relationship of minerals to atoms and molecules. The all-important crystal structure is introduced, followed by informative text and illustrations that introduce all six crystal structure classes. This is followed by an outstanding presentation of the actual mineral classes - natural elements, sulfides, sulfates, carbonates, etc. There are approximately 100 common minerals. Over 60 of them are shown on this poster, making it even more helpful for identification. Measures 24" x 36".
