This 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.

The best part of this book are the excellent pictures. These are NOT pictures of museum-quality pieces, just exactly what you'll find on Superior's beaches.
Author went in depth on where to find the different types of rocks, agates, and gemstones on a trip around the lake. I live near the lake ad never realised the geology was that varied. great book for anyone living near or visiting the lake superior area.
Lake Superior has the most beautiful rocks on their shores that with out this book you may never know what they are. The pictures are clear and the information is excellent. It is a must have for beach walkers and rock hounds
First trip to the UP after living in Michigan for 25 years! This book was a great guide for a weekend rock collector. It provides general locations and a nice picture section of typical rock finds. Great for the price.
I bought this book for my son for Christmas 2012. He loves it and looks at it all the time/ You can see so many different rocks all right here in our beautiful State of Michigan. Come visit and see for yourself!
Thank you. This is a book that is required for my Geology class. Good book; I've been getting a lot out of it. Product came in very good condition, and in the time promised.
Love this book - it has very good pictures and will be a valuable asset when I go up north to Lake Superior. I have theLake Michigan guide already - loved that one too!
This is a very good to the beach stones most commonly found along Lake Superior and the best places for hunting agates and other beach stones.
