Minerals from China are among the most sought-after collector's items internationally. Since the successful publication of the first comprehensive volume on minerals, localities, and deposits from China, important new areas and mineral species have been added. The new finds from the already classic occurrences of the first "China wave," as well as new deposits from a total of 18 provinces and 85 localities, are meticulously researched and described in this follow-up volume. Often spectacularly formed minerals, such as those from the Huanggang district in Inner Mongolia, are among the highlights. Berthold Ottens, who personally visited most of the sites, presents the minerals found in China over the past 15 years in over 400 pages, providing extensive detailed information. Indexes, maps, and a helpful overview map supplement the descriptions.
