Geology Toolkit Premium v2019.6.0 [Paid]
Requirements: 4.0+
Overview: Geology Toolkit is a complete android application which allows geologists to examine and explore minerals and rocks features under microscope or hand-specimen properties.

Geology Toolkit makes mineralogy and petrology to be easier to examine a thin section and to understand the characteristic properties for each mineral/rock without a petrographic microscope, which is known to be very expensive. It is mainly addressed to geoscience students / geologists as a guide in individual or supervised laboratory work.

Made by a Geologist for Geologists.

MAIN FEATURES

This app can be used as a virtual manual in disciplines like Optical Mineralogy, Petrology and cannot replace the University classes or 'dedicated' books.
_______________________________

Note: I constantly update this application with new features and photos.

What's New: 
Optical Mineralogy - Transmitted light microscopy was updated: optic axial angle (2V) was added, new search parameters (by relief and optical sign) was implemented
17 new optical determinative tables for Optical Mineralogy
A new feature was added under the Petrology section: Mineral Associations for igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks
2 new minerals under the microscope: monazite and cancrinite
Thin-section minerals list with rounded thumbnails
