 Why Bother? April 17, 2006

Oh my...I have owned this book since before I even moved to California. I'm glad I didn't let this book's terrible quality stop me from moving to the mineral wonderland that is California. The problem with this book is that it is just small scale maps of california with freaking NUMBERS plopped all over some map. Ok, thanks a LOT for the number 14 (QUARTZ =) over Quartz Hill in Palmdale...yes, it IS made out of Quartz...massive white quartz. The ONLY way this book is of ANY use is if you were to use it in conjunction with other maps and even then, there are scores of better works to choose from on the subject. Don't waste your time.

Good luck on finding mineral sites using this guide. While the minerals may be in the areas indicated, the maps are so crude that the likelihood of your finding the sites is very poor. I have tried using the guide for several years with almost no success.

Well worth what I paid for it. This book has lots of information and would make a good reference for the Geology of California.The maps though, don't say what the major highways/roads are, so you'll need another map. I have the book Roadside Geology of North/Central California, and this book goes really well with it. In some ways, Rocks and Minerals of California I think is more useful, despite the missing road ID. The book has sections of counties (not all but most) and minerals found in those areas. Also, quadrangle information, township/range locations of minerals is listed.
