Never saw a book about minerals which is so helpful, because of the pictures in it. They are of rocks you will find, not the ones out of a museum, the most precious ones.

And all the information around each of the 400 Minerals is very informativ. Can even be read as a book.

I threw all my other expensive mineral books away... ;-)
