SynopsisThis guidebook is for anyone who has walked along a Lake Superior beach, picked up a stone, and wondered, "What is this?" Bruce Mueller and Kevin Gauthier researched Lake Superior's entire shoreline to create this thorough and accessible volume. With great detail and helpful illustrations, they describe the kind of rocks you'll find--including copper, iron, and gold--provide hints for telling the stones apart, and show you the best places to find each stone. Also included are suggestions for handling the stones, including the best polishing methods, and fascinating information on the rocks' origins. A section of color photographs is included to help with identification., This guidebook is for anyone who has walked along a Lake Superior beach, picked up a stone, and wondered, What is this?

I purchased this book just before taking a trip to Lake Superior to go Agate picking. The book was written in layman's terms and was very informative. My girlfriend and I were able to find over 200 agates on this trip. This book was very helpful in the success that we had.
