A Short Reflection on Books
Most books on minerals are field guides and "picture books". They can help to identify your specimen and to learn something about their properties, but they don't get you anywhere beyond that. I strongly recommend to get and read textbooks on geology and mineralogy. They don't sort minerals just by their color, but deal with the topic systematically. First they look very boring and it needs some discipline for a layman to work through them. But once you've read a few chapters, you will note that slowly something of a "big picture" is about to emerge. This knowledge will in particular help a lot to understand the literature on locations, as the authors usually address an expert circle of readers.Recommended Books
I'd like to recommend a few books that I found worth reading. In accordance with what I've written above, two of them are textbooks on geology, and only one is a book on quartz.
A well written introductory textbook on physical geology with lots of figures.
This book has nothing to do with quartz but is about the inner workings of the planet earth, and it clearly addresses expert readers and undergraduate students of geology. However, I had more than one aha experience when reading it, so for those of you who "want to know", it is listed.
A nice introduction to mineralogy. Different from most textbooks on mineralogy (that simply count off minerals following to the Dana or Strunz system), it introduces minerals and mineral groups in the context of geological environments.
This book is a very nice introduction into petrology and its methods and is mentioned because it is a very notable exception from German scientific literature: it has been written with the reader in mind.
- Die Eigenheiten von Bergkristall, Rauchquarz, Amethyst, Chalcedon, Achat, Opal und anderen Varietäten, by Rudolf Rykart.
Still "The Book" on quartz. As far as I know, there is no recent English quartz monography that is a match for it. The book has unfortunately not yet been translated from German.
