This book is a treasure trove for young rock hounds. Looking through more than 1000 examples, readers will learn about rocks, minerals, crystals, and gems that were formed by powerful forces of nature. They will learn what raw specimens look like and how they are used. Multitudes of beautiful color illustrations will enable rock hunters to identify what they find. This book is beautiful to look at and very informative for anyone wanting to learn about rocks and minerals.
