1: DK, I love you
Great book. As an amateur rock hound, this book gives me lots of pretty pictures to look at. I have most of DK's books in every subject that interests me. They're all a home run in my book. I love this publisher.

2: Rocks and Minerals
Good Rock Hound reference book. References about all of the named materials that one would like to look up.Presents loads of photographs of raw material as well as finished gemstones and cabochons.

3: Good size and packed with info
I am enjoying this book and its the perfect size for a purse or front pocket of bag.

4: Rocks and Minerals
Great Book...full of useful information. The pictures really give you an indepth but brief description of the item discussed. This book is absolutely essential to the amature hobby collectors out there.

5: Clear & Beautifully Presented
I bought this for my 7-yr. old daughter - budding rock hound and naturalist! Like other DK books, the photography is luscious and the layout is casual and very inviting - full of beautiful images.
It provides a great overview of rocks and minerals, including tools used to find them, the different characteristics and where specific types of rocks and minerals can be found. It also provides detailed "specifics" such as classification, occurence and cleavage - as appropriate.
This is a thoroughly engaging book for all ages and it is highly recommended.
