Indispensable tool for interested geologists

This is an incredible book for anyone interested in the mineralogy of Arizona. While it may be too technical for some amateur geologists, most individuals will be able to appreciate what this book has to offer. Not only does it have a listing of every mineral ever recorded in Arizona, but it tells what the mineral is and the exact locations where they were found. Also included are maps and discussions of the state's geology. But I will return to my previous statement that it may be too technical for some. If you are looking for a simple guide to Arizona, look elsewhere. But if you are looking for one of the most extensive mineral books for the state, look no further.
