About the Ebook
A concise, readable compilation of the species intended for the amateur collector. The author relies on 40 years of active collecting and 12 years as an erstwhile dealer in the presentation of selected areas of interest. Cumbersome details of geology and crystallography are merely summarized in the interest of clarity. Concerns relevant to the average collector, however, such as issues surrounding the specimen's crystal habit, assemblages, associates, color and visual aesthetics are covered in some detail. Familiarity with over 100 localities is provided using copious photographs from the author's extensive collection. Opinions about selection and display of collectable specimens as well as reliability of minerals as an investment are also provided. The fundamental purpose is to get past the the familiar high profile, and high cost, specimens and explore the more unfamiliar but fascinating diversity of the species. The opportunity to collect suites of rhodochrosite should not be overlooked because of the erroneous supposition that specimens are simply unaffordable.
