 great resource September 29, 2008
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.
 good field guide to minerals September 27, 2008
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.
Rock Identification August 15, 2008
The National Audubon Field Guides are all great and the clear pictures make rock and mineral identification much easier.
Fantastic reference book!!!! June 6, 2008
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.
 Not What I Expected January 29, 2008
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
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.
