Ikons!  Classics and Contemporary Masterpieces of Mineralogy by Wayne A. Thompson.  

Edited by: Wendell E. Wilson

Illustrations by: Jeff Scovil, Harold & Erica van Pelt.

Long-time field collector and mineral dealer Wayne Thompson provides something never attempted before: an analysis and categorization of "world-class" specimens in mineralogy, not by price but by significance.  Having spent most of the last 50 years dealing in this rarified level of commerce, he is well-qualified to discuss details and points of discrimination that concern the elite, top-level connoisseurs.
