5.0 out of 5 stars Fine guide but probably not for beginners
Reviewed in the United States on 4 February 2024
Verified Purchase
The book is chock full of information but much of the introductory material seems to assume some knowledge of the field.
If you are already involved in rocks and minerals, it is very good.
It is not a “key” in the sense you can look at some specimen and the guide will take you through the steps needed to identify it.
