Seller's Description:
Very Good. Book Octavo, hardcover, near fine in lightly edgeworn green and white pictorial dj showing milky quartz crystals. 223 pp. A complete guide with maps and mileage logs; Text illustrated with photographs, maps and drawings. Takes you on an extensive gem and mineral collecting tour of Colorado where nature has stored her treasures.
This is an excellent book. Its a must have for any Colorado rockhound. Much more information even if it is 45 yrs old. Using the mileage logs & details I had better luck finding sites to hunt for crystals than any other book I've read. Save yourself some money and buy this book first.
