 💎 DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE WALKING PAST ON THE BEACH, IN THE RIVERBED, AND ON THE TRAIL? 

 That honey-colored pebble on an Oregon beach. The banded rock in a Washington creek. The chunk of "glass" your kid found in the high desert. Between the Pacific surf and the Cascade volcanoes, these two states are stacked with rocks worth picking up, from Oregon sunstone and thundereggs to the petrified wood, agates, and jaspers hiding on trails you already hike. This Washington and Oregon rocks and minerals field guide shows you exactly what 130+ specimens look like in the wild so you know what you found the moment you find it. 

📸 HOW 300+ PHOTOS TURN A TOTAL BEGINNER INTO A CONFIDENT ROCK IDENTIFIER IN SECONDS 

Our team of professional geologists and experienced rockhounds have put together painstakingly curated entries showing multiple images of every rock, mineral, and crystal. Their simple system makes it a breeze to quickly identify your finds. No degree, no jargon, just sharp photos and verified data. 

🛡️  DRAG IT THROUGH COLUMBIA RIVER MUD, PACIFIC SALT SPRAY, AND A CASCADES DOWNPOUR. IT WILL STILL LOOK NEW 

Every page of this rock identification book is sealed in heavy duty waterproof lamination with a metal spiral that lays flat in one hand. It fits a daypack, a glovebox, or a wader pocket, and outlasts hardcovers three times its weight. Built for the Olympic coast and the Owyhee canyons, not a bookshelf. 

🌲THE SCREEN FREE ADVENTURE YOUR KIDS WILL BEG TO REPEAT

 Agate beaches, river gravel bars, thunderegg beds, roadcuts, even the driveway. This Washington and Oregon rocks and minerals book turns every outing into a treasure hunt for toddlers and grandparents alike, with real geology that builds confidence instead of confusion. 

🎁 GIVE THEM THE GUIDE THAT RIDES ALONG ON EVERY TRIP FROM THE SAN JUANS TO THE HIGH DESERT 

 For the lifelong rockhound or the kid with pockets full of "special rocks," this is the gift that never gets left behind. 130+ specimens, 300+ photos, nearly indestructible, thin enough for a cargo pocket. Skip the novelty gift and give them something they'll carry for a decade.

 The Guide Washington and Oregon Rock Hunters Won't Leave Home Without 

Collectors keep this one in the truck because it just plain works. Slim enough for a jacket pocket, dependable enough to trust at the water's edge, and good-looking enough to page through on a rainy Pacific Northwest afternoon.

Whether it's your first beach walk or your hundredth trip to the thunderegg beds, it earns its spot.

Turn "What's That?" Into a Hobby That Lasts a Lifetime

Put it in the hands of a curious kid or grown-up and step back. Big, vivid photos and surprising fun facts turn every beach day, river swim, camping trip, and backyard dig into a treasure hunt.

It's the kind of book that takes an ordinary Saturday and turns it into the day someone fell in love with rocks.

The Reference Rock Hunters Reach for First

When you're building a collection, the details have to be right. Verified data, a real Washington or Oregon locality for every entry, and crisp, accurate photos let you identify, label, and shelve every specimen, from Plush sunstone and Biggs picture jasper to the Glass Buttes obsidian on your workbench, with total confidence.

It's why collectors across Washington and Oregon treat Rock Chasing guides as the final word in the field, the standard you can build a collection on.
