Australian and New Zealand Gemstones how and where to find them

Australian an New Zealand Gemstones 

This is a book for the seasoned rockhound as well as the rank amateur. All aspects of the hobby are covered: where to look for gems and minerals, how to recognise them, how to make jewellery, mining law, etc. All the information is contributed by experts, yet written in a language everyone can understand. No doubt what will be most prized by enthusiasts is the special section devoted to gemstone localities. This is information never before published. It is probably the most detailed account ever attempted, covering all the mineral areas of Australia, with maps of the more important localities. As well, the book contains over 170 illustrations in colour and black and white.
