With the exceptional photos and descriptions I have easily been able to identify rocks I have gathered and used in my jewelry pieces. It is definately my prefered reference source for the Lake Superior area.

Excellent pocket size guide for searching the Lake Superior region for rocks and minerals. Concise description with area map and color photos of each example. Multiple entries on Lake Superior Agates break this group up into an interesting sojourn of the Lake's shoreline. Many lesser known rocks and minerals are covered to make this a very complete guide in a smaller book size. Highly recommend this guide for both experts and beginners and the price is reasonable for the volume of information provided.

If you like to look for rocks in MN, this guide is a must. Great pictures of field specimins (unpolished) so you know what to look for... I am really happy with this book.

This is the best little rock book I have found. Every page has a picture of the rock with description of it on the opposite side. Shows both raw rock and at times polished rock so you know what it would look like. So far the best rock book I have purchased to help identify rocks with excellent pictures and details.

This beautiful presented, and user friendly Field Guide "Rocks and Minerals" of the Lake Superior Area answers many questions that the rock and mineral collector would have. From the photography to the format, and even its size, the authors presented this guide very well. Yes it covers items such as what to look for, location, colors, size, occurrence, and more...and it would make anice gift for the rockhound in your famiy. THe book deserves a five star rating.

An excellent small book, easy to carry in a backpack. this is good for those who enjoy rockhunting in No. Minn, wisc. and Mich.

We just completed a trip around the south shore of Lake Superior,
and this rock & minberal guide was always in my many-pocketed bush
vest. It is excellent at giving thorough info on all the rocks and
pebbles you would encounter, on the shore or inland in gravel pits.
Photographs throughout. Highly recommended.

The photos make this book better than ones with drawings. Helpful for a beginner like me.

I got this as a gift and read the whole thing cover to cover. Very readable descriptions with excellent photographs. This is a must-have if you like to hunt for rocks on or around Lake Superior.

Very handy and compact beach guide to rock identification. Covers a wide array of rocks and minerals with great color photos.
