Packed with striking visuals, gems of geological information, and stories from cultures all around the world, this book is a must-have for budding rockhounds and curious kids.

This all-encompassing rock and gem book for kids offers:
  • An impressive collection of gems, rocks, and crystals, from their natural state to polished perfection.
  • Facts on every page that explain how the shapes, patterns, and colors of rocks and minerals are formed.
  • Contents organized by different rock and gem types, for example, Native Elements, Organic Gems, and Gemstones.
