Book description: Rio Nuevo Publishers, 2009. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. Drawing on her background in journalism and geosciences, Sano provides budding rock hounds and other non-specialists with information about some of the minerals found in the southwestern area of the US. She focuses on those that are important as basic rock-forming minerals and for their prevalence throughout or uniqueness to the region or their cultural importance. Among the information is the chemical formula, class, crystal system, hardness, and sometimes companion minerals or metaphysical associations. The color photographs, besides illustrating the beauty of the stones, help hikers and others recognize them in the wild. (©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR)
