|
by Neil R. Bearce Paperback AMAZING book! Read Justin's Review of this book CLICK HERE. It is a MUST for all people that live in or travel to Arizona! This is how a mineral guide should be! |
|
by Neil R. Bearce Paperback Fine field guide to Arizona. You can almost tell which field guides are the best because they don't depreciate with age, they just get harder to find and more expensive, like this book. Suggested! |
|
by Bill Panczner Paperback Overall, a decent field guide and really good for the amount of information vs. cost. |
|
by James R. Mitchell, Bessie Simpson Paperback All of the books in the "Gem Trails" series offer at least a handful of really quality locations, inter-mixed with agate...glorious Agate... The "Gem Trails" series is required if you live in the appropriate area. |
|
by Gerry Blair Paperback See Justin's review of this book CLICK HERE. To sum it up, it's worth it if you can get if for under $10.00, or you have a need to own every field guide on your state.. |
|
by James R. Mitchell, M. G. Broman Paperback This is the OLD version, the main bonus is that you can get it for pocket change... |
|
by James R. Mitchell Paperback Oh James R. Mitchell, you are my savior...I lead field trips for a rock club in Southern California for a year and let me tell you, this guide helped me out quite a bit! Not that there are not a million agate locations in it, but when you are in Los Angeles, a two hour drive often leads to Agates... |

|
by Vinson Brown, David Allan, James Stark Paperback I don't care if this book costs you a Plug Nickel..it isn't worth the paper it's printed on. How much could you love ambiguous numbers thrown down on a huge scale map? Sounds pretty lame, doesn't it? SURE IS! |
|
by Gail A. Butler Paperback A pretty good field guide, especially if you enjoy collecting lapidary material. The plus is that most of the locations in the book are very well accessible. I would recommend it to most all novice collectors...mineral collectors in California will all know the few mineral location in the book by heart already. |
|
by Strong Paperback One of the best reference field guide to the Mohave and Colorado Deserts! I have my copy SPIRAL bound! |
|
by Bill Panczner Paperback Not a bad book for the amount of information inside. A good addition to any collection of California Field guides...there are a lot of great locations in California! |

|
by William A. Kappele Paperback Oh man...again, if you like cutting rough...this is right up your alley. The "mineral" specimen locations in the book are usually just smears of some secondary mineral stain...ugh. Again, only if you LIVE in Nevada. |
by Klein Paperback A great field guide to Nevada, mixed in with a focus on Gold...nice! |
|
by David A. Kelty Paperback I give this book 29 thumbs down! Don't buy it. I've used it to NO avail and so have several other people. Quite simply, this is the pits! You have been warned! |
by James R. Mitchell Paperback Gem Trails of New Mexico, has a few more mineral locations than most Gem Trails, overall, just like the rest of Gem Trail series, worthy of owning. |
|
by Stephen M. Voynick Paperback A great guide to collecting minerals in New Mexico...a must have for residents of the state! |
by Melinda Crow Paperback New Mexico has tons of wonderful locations and this book does a decent job at detailing some of them! |
|
by R. M. Girard Paperback State printed guides are usually better than most of the GemTrails/Rockhounding series guides and this one is no exception. Cheap and full of good information |
by Melinda Crow Paperback This guide is pretty dreadful. Get the state publication instead! It's available right above and it's much cheaper! |
|
by Brad Lee Cross Paperback Pretty horrible, maybe one day a commercial company will get a guidebook to Texas made that isn't horrible! Maps are TERRIBLY inaccurate and much of the data is outdated.
| |
by James R. Mitchell Paperback Not a terrible Gem Trails book, more of the same as you come to expect from them. If you are in Colorado or around Colorado, a worthwhile addition to your library. |
|
by Stephen M. Voynick Paperback A very well written book with tons of great info...I recommend highly! A little outdated, but still a great reference!
| |
by William A. Kappele Paperback A little outdated, but full of plenty of useful information and locations. |
|
by James R. Mitchell Paperback Utah is home to tons of fantastic rockhounding sites and the people and the government of Utah are friendly to rock collecting! This is a great guide to many locations in the state.
| |
by William A. Kappele Paperback Utah has a knack for sites staying open to collecting longer than most in other states, so the field guides to Utah tend to be pretty accurate many years after there publication. I suggest this book AND a trip to Utah...you drive, I'll change the CDs... |
|
by Robert Neil Johnson Paperback I have not seen a copy of this book, nor do I know of a review. If you have this, please let me know what you think about it.
| |
by Kenneth L. Graham Paperback Oh Wyoming...It has to be a much more relaxing job writing a book on location in Wyoming rather than say...urban los angeles. Or Colorado. Wyoming has wide open spaces and the locations tend to last much longer than ones published in states with more influx of people. Nice book, good locations, fun! |
|
by John A. Beckwith Paperback A very old book, but worthwhile to add to your collection as a reference guide. It's an interesting book for under $7.00
| |
by Lanny R. Ream Paperback I haven't had the chance to check this book out personally, but Mr. Ream's Locality guide to Idaho is excellent, so I would venture to say his field guide should be pretty good! |
|
by Robert Feldman Paperback Great field guide. Montana is a great place to rockhound!
| |

|
by James R. Mitchell Paperback It's ok, but joining local clubs would be a better idea.
| |
by Laura Lu Tolsted Paperback When you are collecting out in the midwest, you usually have to do the homework yourself, but the plus is that many locations are not highly picked over. |
