Book Review: Geodes" Natures Treasure
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic book to acquant yourself with the different types of geodes and the processes that formed them. Easy read for a novice to serious collector or student. Well illustrated, too. I have been collecting geodes for several years, but I have just recently begun to appreciate the multitude of types from various locations around the U.S. I found each chapter helped further my understanding of these wonderful gems that nature has created. Frankly, this is the best book that I have read on the subject yet! I was not disappointed.
