This book belongs in the backpack of any outdoor enthusiast because
identifying rocks and minerals has never been more interesting or
easy. Author Sid Wayland examines common minerals and elements,
discussing their visible properties and chemical makeups as well as
how to identify specimens through a number of tests that can be
performed at home or in the field. Tests range from those as simple
as scratching an unknown sample with a fingernail to those more
complex in which platinum wire, charcoal blocks, a flame and
chemicals are required. This book also describes how to make much
more of the equipment needed for testing. Anyone with an interest
in rocks, whether for pleasure or profit, will love this book.
