Loved this book of art! Not knowing much of anything about minerals and gems I found this book fascinating. I'm definitely interested in visiting the treasures from the Houston Museum of Natural Science because of this book. I cannot believe how many amazing minerals and gems are discovered and this book has made me want to learn more about geology.
