Book Reviews of Lake Michigan Rock Picker's Guide
Book Review: This book had everything I was looking for
Summary: 5 Stars
My family spent a week at a relatives cottage near Cedar Michigan. We spend a few hours on one particular beach and collected a whole assortment of Lake Michigan rocks.
At the cottage they had Bruce Mueller's other book on Petoskey stones (very interesting). On the back it mentioned this book on Lake Michigan Rocks.
I picked up this book the other day and grabbed the bucket of rocks we brought home with us from our trip. What a great resource this book is. My kids were really getting into it and soon we had almost the whole bucket sorted out by what type of rock they were (about 13+ different kinds). Initially I only knew how to identify Pestoskey's and quartz. Using the books color pictures and descriptions really made it easy.
Of course we had some rocks categorized under "mystery rock", but I would say that this book helped us identify about 95% of them.
Before buying this book I went to the local bookstore (big chain) to look at other rock identification books. In short they were totally worthless. Other than a Petoskey they had none of the other rock types we found.
If you have a bucket full of Lake Michigan rocks you want identified, go buy this book. You wont regret it.
P.S My son found a Petoskey bigger than my hand on that trip. I'm reading over the "polishing" section now to find out how to make it shiny like the ones you see in the store. FUN!!!
