Pages of full-color photos identify mineral formations as common as  iron and sulfur and as precious as diamonds and rubies. Minerals are shown as  they occur both in natural deposits and in their cut-and-polished states.  Readers get an overview of mineral sources, gem cutting, imitation gems, metals  and metal working, and much more. Also described and shown are meteorites that  have fallen to earth from outer space. Perhaps most fascinating of all are the  many color photos of fossils, including insects, shell fish, vegetable forms,  and animal skeletons, preserved in fossilized formations for millions of years.
