520			_a"Most states have official designated gems and minerals. This guidebook showcases these marvels, from Alabama's star blue quartz to Wyoming's jade, and everything in between. Each state entry contains details about the state gems and minerals, including: pronunciations, chemical formulas, and information about the year it was recognized; Photographs of gems and minerals unique to each state; Map of the state showing where the gem or mineral can be found. Potential candidates are suggested for states that do not have official state gem and minerals, along with instructions on how to get the state gem or mineral designated. An appendix lists museums and parks where gems and minerals can be studied first-hand, and a comprehensive glossary makes this book a fun resource for rock hunting enthusiasts and future geologists of all ages"--Back cover.
