highly recommended

great resource

As a Library Media Specialist, I receive requests for all sorts of books. This one was a request from an earth science instructor for a book that gave some really good examples of rocks and minerals --in color.

Not What I Expected

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.

Fantastic reference book!!!!

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.

Rock Identification

The National Audubon Field Guides are all great and the clear pictures make rock and mineral identification much easier.

good field guide to minerals

I love the pictures, even though I did notice the pictures and the corresponding text are in different parts of the guide. The small size allows me to take the book with me anywhere.

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
