India has been the repository of minerals from time immemorial. Ancient miners were well known for their skill in extracting and smelting the ores of metals and in recovering diamonds from deposits of various kinds. The book Mineral Wealth is a useful research. It is in five parts. The book describes all the minerals found in India, Myanmar and Pakistan individually illustrating their places of origin, history, commercial exploitation, their uses in modern times etc. Thus, the book should be useful for all those dealing with metals and metallurgical processes. It also contains useful information in the appendix.
