Nevada Mineral & Book Company (NMBC) was established in 1985, when we started selling mineral specimens and out-of-print publications at gem & mineral shows and through mail order. In 1989 we acquired the inventory of the Mineralogical Record Book Department, and incorporated in-print books and journals into our offerings. Over the past 20 years, we have evolved to offer the researcher, educator and collector a wide variety of publications and specimens in a "one-stop" shopping environment.In October 2000, we opened a retail bookstore and natural history gallery in Henderson, Nevada - 25 minutes or less from McCarran International Airport, the Las Vegas "Strip," or downtown Las Vegas. Our store offers a wide variety of new, used and out-of-print publications, as well as mineral and fossil specimens, lapidary and decorator items, and mining stock certificates and other ephemera. We have one of the largest inventories of earth science-related publications in North America, so plan on staying a while if you come to visit our store while in Southern Nevada. You won’t be disappointed.
From the author of Minerals of Arizona comes a new field guide for the Arizona collector. This entirely new expanded guide is designed not only for the mineral collector but for fossil and fluorescent collectors as well. The field research for this book took more than three years, during which the author traveled 25,000 miles across the state and visited more than 300 potential collecting sites. It includes 90 collecting sites with photographs, topographic maps, G.P.S. coordinates and difficulty scale for each site. Covers basic science of minerals, fossils and fluorescents, geological formations at each site and properties of minerals. With 20 full-color photographs of specimens by noted mineral photographer Jeffrey Scovil.

Location Himalaya mine here in San Diego County
Size: 6.2 x 2.5 cm.
Comments: This beautifully crystalline and glassy pink tourmaline specimen was dug by Pala International during our 20-year mining efforts at the Himalaya mine here in San Diego County. The mine produced all shapes, sizes, and colors of tourmalines, but this one seems to have some extra intrinsic beauty. It’s composed of two interlocking pink transparent crystals of tourmaline with some lepidolite sprinkled on top. One exceptional 9-mm. lavender lepidolite crystal is positioned right at the tourmaline junction and sits on a plate of white clevelandite.
