Mineral Resources Tasmania

Tasmanian Mineral Catalogue now available in hardback again

One of MRT's most popular publications is once again available for purchase in hardcover. This updated printing of the Catalogue of the Minerals of Tasmania continues the grand tradition of this volume, having previously been revised in  2008 and 1969, with the earliest catalogues dating back to the late 1800s.

This new Catalogue aims to be of interest to both professional and amateur mineralogists. The original simple alphabetical presentation is retained, rather than mineral classification, but many of the major mineral groups are also listed. Technical data is minimised, except where it is not readily available elsewhere, and the professional mineralogist is catered for by and extensive listing of the sources of data.

Owners of the 2008 hardcover version need not update, as revisions in this printing are relatively minor, however those who've requested hardcover versions in the past and would like to purchase one, please email info@mrt.tas.gov.au. We offer a mail out service.
