Book Reviews of Gem Trails of Colorado
Book Review: Gem Trails?
Summary: 3 Stars
The location descriptions and maps are adequate to actually find the various places in the book. The color photos of the specimens are excellent but often give the rockhound false hopes of what will really be found. I guess my expectations were too high of what could actually be found in Colorado by the casual rockhound. Virtually every site that I have visited that was described in the book has been picked over for multiple decades with good specimens almost nonexistent. Anyone thinking that he/she can just go and get anything like the book's photo specimens is in for disappointment. I've come to the conclusion that the really good sites are never described in books like this.
