Illustrated Guide to Rocks & Minerals: How to find, identify and collect the world's most fascinating specimens, with over 800 detailed photographs

I bought this book because for many years I have studied crystals and geologyIt is the perfect companion For the more expert geologist or a standalone book for someone who hasn’t read a lot about rocks and mineralsEach page has good clear photos and lots of information about the minerals or rocks This book is more than a coffee table bookI would recommend it to anyone starting out with the interest in this field or to somebody who wanted to add another book with extra information to the collectionNice quality hardback book good value for money

Excellente livre ! Merci Beaucoup ,..une Trésor !

Book is very informative and contains material that is easily understood.

This book arrived two days ago and i was amazed at the quality considering the very reasonable price. I have had a rock collection for many years which was originally collected and catalogued by a professor of geology. It has fallen into a parlous state from being stored carelessly in a garage. The cabinet has been restored by a friend and I am now refreshing all the specimens. This book will be an absolute godsend. I haven't been able to put it down since it arrived and it is just what I wanted. Clear text and photos and a delight to read which will motivate anyone thinking about taking up rock/mineral collecting, lapidary or pebble tumbling as a hobby. Highly recommended.

Great book! Clear to understand for my nine year old.
