Best book!!!

This is a GREAT book for acquiring an understanding of the various classifications of rocks and their occurances. I read many rock books, but it wasn't until I read this book that I finally got a handle on what rocks to expect and where to expect them as I searched for rocks and minerals. I LOVE the charts and use them extensively.

I am successful rockhounder after reading this book

I used this book with three reference books, suggested reading and bettered my knowledge of rock and mineral identification. I understand that almost 13000 copies of this book have been sold over the last 12 years. I would recommend it to anyone intrested in learing about rocks and minerals.
