Guide to Rocks and Minerals of Florida was first Printed in 1961
and reprinted in 1981, and currently is not available in printed form.
Because of the age of this publication some of the
information contained within it is outdated.
This guide was written to serve as a tool
for the identification, occurrence, production and use of Florida's most common rocks and minerals. It was primarily intended to be a simplified general reference for the student; therefore, technical
information and detailed descriptive material was minimized.
Some of the terminology used in these web pages
(color, streak, hardness, specific gravity, cleavage) is
explained in the guide. |
