Interesting in its own right, and useful as a /Dwarf Fortress/ strategy guide.
Seriously useful reference book for identifying and learning about rocks and minerals. Excellent color photos with detailed information and descriptions. A useful book and educational.

I am always very fascinated by rocks and fossils so this book was very fun to read. I would have it in my classroom as a great resource book or definitely put it in my personal class library in case a student of mine wanted to know more about rocks.

It even has little projects at the back where a student could make their own fossils or start a rock collection.… (plus d'informations)
