"LANGBAN – The Mines, Their Minerals, Geology and Explorers" – D. Holtstam and J. Langhof (editors), authored by 10 distinguished mineralogists, geologists, and historians, all experts on this historically important mining district. The book has 219 pages, 9" X 12", hardcover, with pictorial full color dust jacket. More than 200 illustrations are included, of which about 115 are mineral photographs in full color. Langban, a unique iron and manganese deposit, is one of the world’s greatest mineralogical occurrences, with nearly 270 mineral species reported to date. Many of these minerals are unique to the Langban deposit, and 67 minerals were first found at this world-famous mineral locality. The Table of Contents lists a Foreword by Paul B. Moore, Introduction by the editors, followed by: General Geology of the Bergslagen Ore Region, Geology of the Langban Deposit, Some Aspects of the Origin of the Deposit, Langban’s Mining History, Mineralogists and Collectors, The Langban Minerals, Collecting at Langban, and a Bibliography with 567 references. The section covering the Langban minerals is most important with individual mineral descriptions (accompanied by color photos), carefully documenting the physical characteristics of each species in each of its known assemblages and locations at Langban, and listing the associated species in each assemblage. The book is concluded with a three part appendix, including the following: I. A systematic list of the Langban minerals, II. Synonyms, varietial and obsolete mineral names in Langban mineralogy, and III. A list of fluorescent minerals from Langban. Published by Raster Forlag, and the Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm, 2000. For additional information, see the write-up in the July-August 2000 issue of the "Mineralogical Record" magazine, P. 354.
