Rock Hounders Must Have!
Really like this guide. Made use of it when an out-of state relative came for a visit. Found a site close to home and had a wonderful afternoon. Directions are clear and accurate. A must for all rockhounders.

Gem Trails of Nevada
I have had Gem Trails of Nevada for a about a month now so decided to go out and hunt for some Apache Tears. The book was right on the mark and we found plenty of them at the site along US 95 where the book said they would be. At the site we ran into another family that was hunting for Apache Tears as well. I showed them the book we were using and their little boy ran to their car an brought back the same book. In the future we will be going to other places as well.
Based on our one experience, the book is well worth it.

Gem Trails of Nevada

This is an excelent guide book. I was impressed with the milage markers for locating sites accuracy. Some of the sites would have been very difficult if not impossible to find as they were in remote areas.
