Pekov’s book is a treasure for the number of crystal drawings, color photographs, and SEM photographs of rare minerals. However, finding all the illustrations of any given mineral can be difficult, as crystal drawings and SEM photos are scattered throughout the text; color plates are grouped in 25 pages from page 192, and there is a section of eight pages of SEM photos from page 245 to 252. This list simply shows, at a glance, which minerals have been illustrated and where to find them.

xld = crystal drawing

sem = scanning electron micrograph

pol.sec. = polished section
