A field trip of historic mineral sites of Earth
This is a big book, 9" by 11" by 1" thick in hardcover, of 488 glossy pages with both a general index and a mineral index.

This is a pictorial and textual "field trip" book of history and historical mining sites from all over the Earth. This features 100 of the world's classic crystals producing localities. Each site is accompanied by a text containing historical lore, and by multitudes ofold and new b&w photos, 667 of them, accompanied by many color photographs of crystal and gem treasures, each in its proper site.

A map in the back shows where the sites are, and a bibliography referring to each site, or chapter, with usually 2 references to each.

For the enthusiast of mineral history this work is just about invaluable. -DM
