At last, Nevada's rich mineral heritage has been documented in the single, superb volume, Minerals of Nevada... It's a book made to order for anyone interested in Nevada's minerals and mining history. -- Rock and Gem The long-awaited Minerals of Nevada is now available and is clearly a fine, comprehensive treatment of one of our most important mineral-producing states... This exceptional book ... is an absolute requirement for the library of anyone interested in geographic mineralogy or the mineral occurrences of the Great State of Nevada. -- Media Reviews I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in minerals and mineral deposits in Nevada. The color photos provide striking images of many minerals that the average collector is unlikely ever to see except by visiting multiple museums. The exhaustive listing of minerals, their chemical formulas, and their generalized parageneses are bound to educate most users and stimulate their curiosity. -- Economic History
