Underground Treasures: How and Where to Find Them
$74.99 USD
Description

by James Orton

A field-guide for laypeople who want to find and identify valuable minerals in the U.S. without being full-blown scientists. Orton gives you “keys,” descriptions, and practical tips so you can spot, test, and value minerals, ores, gems, and springs.

It transmutes scientific knowledge into practical use at a time when geology and mining were booming in the U.S., empowering readers to take note of ordinary sights that would indicate mineral deposits, and other significant geological finds.

Very Old and Very Delicate with some delicate mending to the binding.
