Description
Some kids leave the gem mine with a bag full of stones and a lot of questions. This book answers them.
Rock Collecting for Kids by Dan R. Lynch is a full-color introduction to geology and rock collecting for ages 6–12. It covers where rocks come from, how Earth’s surface changes over time, and how to identify what you’ve found — with photographs and ID tips on 75 types of common and collectible rocks and minerals.
The identification guide is the heart of the book — detailed enough to be genuinely useful, but written so that a kid can actually follow it. Whether they found something at our gem mine today or they’ve been picking up interesting rocks their whole life, this gives them the tools to figure out what they’re holding.
Inside you’ll find:
- Geology basics — where rocks come from and how they form
- Identification guide to 75 common and collectible rocks and minerals
- Full-color photographs and ID tips throughout
- “How to” section on what to look for, where to look, and what to bring
