Book Reviews

This is a great book to use on our future trip. We are mineral collectors and where there are rocks to be hounded there are minerals to collect.

By Patricia A. Casey on June 5, 2014

The book does not include information for Vancouver Island....it's all mainland BC, so if you're planning a trip to Vancouver Island I'd look for another rockhounding source. If and when we return to mainland BC I'll be sure to bring this along!
