Industrial Minerals and Rocks, published by the Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration (SME), is the widely read global reference tool recognised as one of the most authoritative sources for detailed information on industrial minerals and rocks, the markets they serve, and their multitude of uses.

The 7th Edition published in 2006 (IMAR7), edited by Jessica Kogel (Imerys), Nikhil Trivedi (Mineral Technologies Inc.), James Barker (New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources), and Stanley Krukowski (Oklahoma Geological Survey), has a more global perspective than that of previous editions.
