Customer Reviews

Gem Trails is a REAL GEM!

Mitchel's "Gem Trails of Northern California" is detailed and specific and is also amazingly up to date. I have visited 5-6 of the locations already with good success at finding the gems he says should be able to be found there. Of course, when I look at older editions of his books and realize how many MORE good gems were available for the collecting 30 years ago, it makes me wish I'd gotten into Rockhounding years ago!

Easy to find places

I have only been to three of the many locations mentioned in the book and found the gems that where mentioned. all and all it's a good book with easy to find places.
