Editorial Review:
"Introduction to Optical Mineralogy, Third Edition" contains valuable coverage of the optical properties of minerals, as well as descriptions of common rock-forming minerals. The chapters on optical theory include discussions of the nature and properties of light, the petrographic microscope, and the behavior of light in isotropic materials and in uniaxial and biaxial anisotropic materials.

Good for gemology students  2008-11-11
This is a great book for gemology students who want a deeper understanding of optical properties such as interference figures.
Good standard reference material 2007-11-15
A well written and illustrated textbook on the subject matter. It is exactly what it wants to be: An introduction. And it is a good one. Wide and detailed enough to give the beginner a good handle of "what optical mineralogy is all about" without going into too much detail of purely academic issues. Good balance of theory and examples.
The illustrations are plenty, rich and very instructive. However, minor improvements may be possible by replacing some of the black&white illustrations with updated colour graphics, in particular the microphotographs.
Mineralogy Book  2007-01-03
Another fine, informative book that is truly helpful in gemology, as well as the intended geology studies.
Well worth the price.
The Handy Dandy Guide 2002-04-11
This is a definate must have for all you Geologists out there. No matter what year of school you are in or even if you are no longer in school, but need a bit of reference now and again, this is the book to have. Nesse does an excellent job of clearly explaining and illustrating the optical properties of minerals. He includes all of the essential bits of information that any geologist will need. I highly recommend this book as a great reference tool that any geologist or aspiring geologist should add to their collection of references.
A student's view 2000-02-06
As a student of Geology, I have used Nesse as my bible for all petrology courses. It is complete, comprehensive and easy to use. A must for all geologists, student or not.
