For millions of years Mother Nature has tried her hand at natural scenes and abstract paintings. The incredible fruits of her labors can be seen in the hundreds of varieties of agates and jaspers found mostly in America but also in far-flung places like Northern Africa and the outer-limits of China. Quartz enthusiast, Ron Gibbs, has prepared a much-needed photo-identification guide to jasper as well as non-banded agate, “Agates and Jaspers,” that will help jewelers become knowledgeable about the many localities for these gems as well as their unique patterns and other visual characteristics. Priced at $40, this color photo-crammed 230-page paperback provides the detailed jasper and agate panorama jewelers and consumers new to (and even acquainted with) these wonderful stones need.

The photographs are terrific and Ron even shows how to make photographs of these fabulous rocks.
