Book Reviews of Gem Trails of New Mexico (Revised ed)
Book Review: Have enjoyed this book.
Summary: 4 Stars
We have used this book to go mineral hunting several times. Had trouble finding some of the locations, but im a not a regular collector. Have found several good specimens. I go camping a lot and bought this book thinking it would be fun to have something to do while camping for a week or two at a time. Have also used the book for a couple day trips. We have had about a 80% success rate finding locations and some the minerals listed. Thats not bad for someone that has done rockhounding off and on with no formal training.
Just buy a book that has some good pictures and descriptions, to identify the minerals you are looking for. And you should have fun finding some nice specimens. Yes its a lot of work but well worth it when you come home with a nice specimen for your collection. I have tried this book in several areas of the state, and find about 3 out of 4 locations listed.
