The book is a quick-read how-to book that includes only infor-mation about how to find agates. Although it features the Lake Superior agate and some strategies relevant to beach hunting, most of the information is relevant to finding all types of agates in all locales. The book, like the DVD and the online rockhounding class, trains your eyes and brain so that the agates will find you! Included in the 56-page, 5.5×8.5 backpack size book is over 91 photos that will help you learn how to rec-ognize rough agates in their natural environment. Ship-ping weight 2 lbs.
