Rocks, Minerals & Gems by Miranda Smith
Rocks - and the glittering minerals they're made of - are everywhere: the walls of your room, the cars you travel in, the mountains you climb, and the planet you live on are all rocks In Rocks, Minerals, and Gems, readers will learn about hundreds of rocks, minerals, crystals, and gems that were forged by the most powerful events in prehistory. Explore what specimens look like and how they're used today--readers can use the information to identify rocks and minerals themselves and open up a spectacular new world. Find out all about star stones and cat's eyes, megagems, and phantom quartz. Discover which rocks fluoresce, which mineral once poisoned an emperor, and which gems are the rarest in the world Features a beautiful cover with special effectsBefore becoming a primary school teacher, Sean Callery worked as a journalist. He now divides his time between teaching and authoring children's books. He writes both fiction and nonfiction, and he is a history buff who has written multiple volumes about the Titanic and the two World Wars.
