What reading level is Stories of Rocks And Minerals for the Grammar Grades book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
TIN.
Tin is one of the important metals. It rarely if ever occurs in Nature in the metallic state, but com- monly as the oxide. This we call cassiterite. The name is a very old one. It is supposed that it was the ancient name of the British Islands. The earliest that we know of tin it was mined in Cornwall on the southwestern coast of England. The ancient Phoeni- cians were great sailors and took, what were then, long and dangerous voyages to obtain this metal. They gave the name by which the i...slands were known to the mineral which was of so much value to them.
Tin is not so abundant as are lead, copper, and zinc. It is found in quantities sufficient to make the mining of it profitable in only a few places in the world. The most of our tin comes from England, Australia, and the Malay Peninsula. The tin mines of Cornwall are the most noted. They have been worked as we have seen for a long time. Some of them are deep and extend out under the ocean making mining quite dangerous.
Cassiterite has a brown color and a bright adaman- tine luster.
