[Petwksp] Petwksp Digest, Vol 41, Issue 1

[jarrargh at ju.edu.jo]

Hi Lydia

i agree with Lisa, the textbook Mineralogy by Dexter is a good choice for a cominbation on minerals and rocks. I am using it since a couple of years for one semesetr course as an introduction on minerals and rocks

best wishes
