Minerals of Virginia

The Minerals of Virginia books by R.V. Dietrich inspired an entire generation of Virginia mineral collectors. The 1990 publication (including the 1993 update) has become a hegemonic text for those interested in studying Virginia mineral localities. Despite these later works being more prominent, earlier copies and smaller publications date back to the 1950's under the Virginia Tech Engineering Experiment Station. The VMP will go back in time and break down the evolution of these publications and how they became the ultimate resource for Virginia mineral collectors.
