“It really does hit every mark where every other field guide I've tried has missed, which is really that it gets straight to assisting in identification (like a field guide should). It's honestly the most practical field guide I've used so far.”

“There are so many things we like about this guide. First of all, it's simple enough that even children can use. It isn't filled with complicated text on how rocks are formed. Kids don't want to read a lot of information when they're out in the field. They just want to know how to identify the rocks and with this field guide the rocks are easily identified.”

“I can confidently say I now look at every driveway, hiking trail, and random pebble like it might secretly be worth $10,000 or contain ancient knowledge. What started as “just a quick guide” turned into me crouching dramatically in parking lots like I'm on a nature documentary mission.”

“This was a gift for my rockhounding husband. He was super excited to receive it. Top quality construction: the pages are all 'thickly' laminated, beautiful coloring throughout the book, strong spiral binding. Perfectly fits in his pack.”

“This is the seventh book in this series I've bought for my explorer daughter. They are wonderfully built and of good quality. The colors are clear and vibrant, the laminate hard and stiff. I take my girl on hiking paths and we try to find similar rocks. She loves it!!”

“This is a very nice book. Just finished a week rock collecting in Michigan. Most all were in this book. I really appreciate it being heavy laminated. I would recommend for anyone.”
