He discovered many minerals new to science, including perovskite, named in honor of Russian mineralogist Lev Aleksevich von Perovski (1792-1856). A rose-colored mineral named roselite is named after him” (Wikipedia). A few inoffensive spots in the text, the plates all clean. A very good copy. Ward and Carozzi, 1913. Not in Sinkankas.
