Encyclopedia of Rocks, Minerals, and Gemstones

Rating:
Summary: Nice book for beginner rock hound
Review: This book gives a description of numerous rock & gem types, along with characteristics, pictures, geography, etc. Good book for someone just starting out in the world of rocks. However, it is not helpful for someone with prior knowledge. It is a beginners level book and a really good one at that.
