What reading level is Rock Forming Minerals book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

- P (111) . P oo (101) and OP (001). Twin crystals are common, and the twinning is upon a plane parallel to the orthopinacoid oo P oo(100). Sections parallel to this face do not therefore show the twinning, but in those parallel to the clinopinacoid (010) and the prism (110) it is distinctly seen. A zoned structure, due to the successive growth of layers, which differ more or less in composition through isomorphous substitution, is frequently met with in augite crystals. The cleavage is paralle...l to oo P (110) and to oo P oo (100) ; but the former, although at times it is clearly visible in basal sections, or in sections transverse to the prism, is at others very obscure or quite imperceptible. When this cleavage appears, it can easily be distinguished from that of hornblende by the planes, which are often interrupted, intersecting nearly at right angles (87 6') ; while in hornblende the angle is about thirty-three degrees wider, and the difference can, there- fore, be detected at a glance.
