Really like this guide. Made use of it when an out-of state relative came for a visit. Found a site close to home and had a wonderful afternoon. Directions are clear and accurate. A must for all rockhounders.

I have had Gem Trails of Nevada for a about a month now so decided to go out and hunt for some Apache Tears. The book was right on the mark and we found plenty of them at the site along US 95 where the book said they would be. At the site we ran into another family that was hunting for Apache Tears as well. I showed them the book we were using and their little boy ran to their car an brought back the same book. In the future we will be going to other places as well.
Based on our one experience, the book is well worth it.

This is a good guide but not as good as Rockhounding Nevada. Sites are similar somewhat but directions not as clear as the other one.

Buyer BEWARE! There's a reason there's no picture of this book! If you read the full description of this book, as I didn't, you'll discover that's it's an old version (publication date 1991), having only 119 pages versus the new version (publication date 2003) having 192 pages. Was the books picture left out intentionally to fool the buyer? You decide.

This book is awesome. The maps were very detailed. We found all the sites and the rocks. Grandkids had the experience of a life time. Who would have thought that the desert could be so much fun.

This is an excelent guide book. I was impressed with the milage markers for locating sites accuracy. Some of the sites would have been very difficult if not impossible to find as they were in remote areas.
