ockhounding Oregon: A Guide to the State's Best Rockhounding Sites by Lars Johnson is gem of a book, please pardon the pun. It is very positive and used addition to already large collection of Rock-hounding books. I have many books on rock collecting in Oregon that discuss locations, identifying gems and minerals and where to find them. Many of these books have the same information in them. Not this book- it is TRULY different than the others by far.So what is special about this book? What do I like?First there are close to 100 collection sites discussed in length in this book. The introductory pages contain a Oregon State Map that keys and maps each sites in one big picture. Then the book discusses each of these locations at length. I am quite impressed with how this book is set up. Its an easy book to follow and is super user friendly.I found the introductory pages of Rockhounding Oregon: A Guide to the State's Best Rockhounding Sites by Lars Johnson are extremely clear and helpful. Its nice to know what equipment to bring to collect at each specific site. This rock-hounding book has beautiful pictures with each location discussed. There are large colorful pictures of all of the collection materials with 3 pages of information for on each collection site. I also have to mention the pictures are ones which I can easily relate to. This is EXTREMELY helpful when you don’t really know what to look for and /or if you have never been to that site before. My other Rock-hounding books lack pictures-and if there are pictures they are small pictures that certainly do not look much like the rocks I am looking to find or see at Rock Gem and Mineral shows. BUT NOT THIS BOOK. All the rock specimen pictures this book are quite spectacular!
