For an undergraduate-level course in industrial mineralogy.

This text bridges the gap between the basics of mineralogy and the applications of mineral-based materials. Over forty minerals and mineral groups are correlated among basic mineralogical properties, geological occurrence, distribution of deposits, industrial processes, and uses so that each industrial mineral is fully defined. Industrial Mineralogy introduces students to the fundamentals of industrial minerals as a foundation to build a professional career and provides professionals in mineral industries with a valuable reference for research and development.
