Rare. This is an introductory work for high school students to crystallography in the Czech language; however, the author utilizes both Czech and German terminology in his mineral names (the German printed in a distinctive swabach font). At the end are six lithographic plates showing 30 figures that were intended to be cut out, folded and glued to create paper crystal models-these are probably the first Czech paper ones!
