Like most Petersons Guides, this is an excellent book covering numerous rocks and minerals featuring numerous color photographs and descriptions of minerals both for the beginning amateur and the professional geologist. An excellent addition to your research library. I own numerous Peterson Field Guided covering Ornithology, Plant Taxonomy, Wildflowers, Fisheries, Reptiles & Amphibians, and numerous others. A great addition and you will not be disappointed purchasing this book!!
