Author Description

Cet ouvrage fondateur de Jons Jakob Berzelius, un chimiste suédois du XIXe siècle, établit les bases de la minéralogie moderne en combinant les méthodes d'analyse chimique et les critères morphologiques des cristaux. Le livre, traduit en français, présente une classification des minéraux en fonction de leur composition chimique et de leur structure cristalline, ainsi qu'une analyse des processus géologiques à l'origine de la formation des minéraux.
