This monograph is the first extended work in which the data
on minerals of the Republic
of Macedonia
Especially valuable is the chapter where the description of
66 the most interesting mineral localities of the R. Macedonia is given. This
information was almost unknown for the worldwide community of both professional
and amateur mineralogists and this book mainly fills up this blank.
Quantitative chemical composition, XRPD data with unit cell parameters, IR
and/or Raman spectra obtained by the authors of the monograph for all mineral
species and varieties known in the R. Macedonia are presented…
We can enjoy many color photographs of minerals from the R.
Macedonia. It seems valuable because mineral specimens from this country are
not well-known and not widespread in foreign museums and private collections,
and readers find much new information and impressions from these pictures.

The monograph about Macedonian minerals is written in
unique way and its publishing is extraordinary mission. Appearance of such
regional mineralogy book, with many data about spectroscopic and
crystallographic properties presents very important reference not just for
experts of different profile, but also for interested amateurs who tend to
complete their knowledge and arising consciousness about the importance of
natural resources, particularly mineral sources. These are the main reasons to
assume this manuscript as crucial work, not just for the R. Macedonia, but also
precious contribution in description of minerals and its occurrences. Such
effort is extremely rare, even in countries with more extended history of
mineral exploration…
Numerous experts and amateurs will wait happily and
anxiously for printed version of this book.

This monograph is an exceptional scientific work in the
field of mineralogy and complementary disciplines (geology, petrology,
geochemistry, mine localities) both, from the point of view of its originality
as well as its complexity. Its content and concept offers an extraordinary
opportunity for the scientists and other enthusiasts in mineralogy to learn
more about the localities and mineral wealth of the R. Macedonia as well as to
introduce with the results of the experimental study of the collected minerals.
The beautiful color photographs of the minerals enable the readers to feel the
marvelous beauty of the minerals from the R. Macedonia.
