The minerals from the basalt region of India's Deccan Traps have achieved worldwide renown over the past 40 years. Previously, reports on the numerous finds were sporadic, lacking a comprehensive overview. This monograph now presents, for the first time, a detailed description of all 65 mineral species found there, based on the latest scientific findings. Furthermore, the most famous localities are explained in detail.
 Berthold Ottens, who personally visited almost all of the sites multiple times over the past 40 years, presents the minerals, the locations, and the geological context with extensive detailed information in approximately 350 pages. All explanations are illustrated with first-class photographs, graphics, and maps. This monograph represents a milestone in the documentation of secondary minerals from India.
