Pictures of different rock types was positive... where certain rock types could be found... how certain rocks look when the slices are opened and polished. On the dollar, great value is placed.

Excellent book for the Beginner

For my husband, who is quite interested in crystals, I bought it. He verified some of his own knowledge and also learned an enormous amount, he did not. It is easy to read and follow. Recommend it highly.
