Perfect for mountain climbers and hikers, this valuable reference covers more rocks and minerals in North America than any other available guide. 794 full-color photographs depict all the important rocks, gems, and minerals -- in many variations of color and crystal form -- and the natural environments in which they occur; written descriptions provide information on field marks, similar rocks and minerals, environment, areas of occurrence, and derivation of names. Includes a guide to mineral collecting and a list of rock-forming minerals Cached date: AWS Called=true You may also be interested in these products:
Rock Identification 2008-08-15 The National Audubon Field Guides are all great and the clear pictures make rock and mineral identification much easier.
Fantastic reference book!!!! 2008-06-06 We are avid rockhounds and have been looking for a book to help identify some of what we find. This book had great photos and descriptions. I HIGHLY recommend it to everyone.
Not What I Expected 2008-01-29 I was really excited to buy this book, but it wasn't as great as I was expecting. The pictures are deceiving to me. I can't really use this book to identify rocks in my collection.
Nice pictures 2008-01-02 This is a nice compact field guide. There is more technical stuff than this beginer can appreciate for now. The only complaint came from my geology major daughter - "the pictures only depict the crystal forms, you almost never see such good specimens". I told her to be more optimistic about finding similar examples.
A very good deal! 2007-11-13 The book arrived quickly and it was like new. Book is in Excellent condition! I am very pleased with this transaction.!
