Description
Learn more about the gems and minerals found across the United States with this colorfully illustrated informative book. Beginning with an introduction to gems and minerals, mineral classification, and foundational information about gemstones and minerals, the book provides a one-page overview of each state’s gem and mineral, including any official state minerals. Each state specific page includes a map of the state identifying the capital, and any noted locations where the gem and/or mineral have been found. It also includes a colorful image and state specific information about the mineral and/or gem. States without an official state gem or mineral include information about ones found in the state. States are presented alphabetically and not geographically which makes this a quick “go-to” resource for your state studies or well-organized information for casual reading. Includes glossary of terms, further reading suggestions, and places to see gems and minerals in each of the fifty states. ~Deanne
Publisher's Description of 50 State Gems and Minerals
How many states claim quartz as their official state gem? This guidebook answers this question and more as it explores the treasures that are designated official state gems and minerals. More than 150 photographs showcase these marvels, from the Star Blue quartz of Alabama to the jade nephrite of Wyoming. Each state entry is presented with details about the state gem and mineral, with pictures of each, and a map of the state showing where the gem or mineral can be found. Some states do not yet have designated gems or minerals, and suggestions and guidance are provided so that the reader can lead the way in getting one designated. Museums and parks with minerals are listed in the appendix so readers can go see specimens in person. Encyclopedic yet easy to read, this book is great for mineral and gem enthusiasts and future geologists of all ages.
