Critics Review
A comprehensive and tightly knit treatment that will be the definitive reference for decades to come… . The entire mineral community owes the authors and editor a debt of gratitude for taking on this project and doing it so well. At 6×9 inches, the book is a convenient size, beautifully printed and bound, and quite readable, despite the small font. Mineral collectors, geologists, and academics working on Georgia minerals should definitely have this fine book in their library (or backpack).
– Robert J. Lauf * Rocks and Minerals *For the modest price asked, there is no excuse not to add this book to any regional-mineralogy library; for the Georgia collectors it can hardly be anything other than indispensable.
– Thomas P. Moore * Mineralogical Record *The volume is successful in presenting the most accurate, up-to-date information available on the subject. It is the ultimate bible of Georgia’s mineralogy. The work is well written and illustrated, with more than 150 color photographs. It is suited for collectors, mineralogists, and treasure hunters. It contains handy appendix sections, complete with a County Index, a Locality Index with mineral occurrences, and a Mineral Index. I highly recommend it.
