Alec Livingstone
A comprehensive and definitive account of Scotland’s minerals and the men who discovered, collected and examined them.

Sixty-one minerals native to Scotland are detailed in this book with their description, history and occurrence; while a glossary of all 552 known species is included. This publication is a valuable contribution to Scotland’s mineral heritage.
