"As a mostly now-adult who grew up loving geology, I can say this book is a great starting point for any kid with a budding interest in rocks and minerals. The diagrams, photos, and illustrations are bright, large, and easy to understand. The text is clearly written and well-paced, with approachable summaries of very big subjects essential to understanding the rocks and minerals that we call gems. This includes good, relatable examples of rocks and minerals in everyday life, from the elements of our bones to the chemistry of salt crystals. Descriptions of individual gemstones are comprehensive yet easily accessible, with additional fun facts provided to encourage the reader to think about gems in broader context. The chemistry of minerals and gems, a necessary topic for such a book, is thoughtfully sprinkled in to help the reader build their awareness without getting overwhelmed. Prompts for further self-directed exploration are also a nice touch." --David Levering, M.S, Director of Sternberg Science Camps, "If you're looking for a book that will grab a kid's attention, entertain, and educate, look no further! Gems for Kids is filled with applied information, wonderful pictures, and great ways to apply newfound knowledge on everyday household objects hiding geologic secrets." --Dr. Win McLaughlin, Visiting Assistant Professor of Geology, Pomona College, "Like many kids, my first introduction to science was through rocks and minerals. Gems for Kids is a wonderful beginners guide to gemology. In fact, I wish I had this as a reference when I was in school!" --Kallie Moore, Collections Manager, University of Montana Paleontology Collection and Host of PBS Eons "If you're looking for a book that will grab a kid's attention, entertain, and educate, look no further!

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

Great seller with great communication! Item arrived complete, as described and for a good price. There was a bit of an issue with tracking the order at one point (not the seller's fault), but seller was proactive in reaching out to the carrier and myself to get everything back on track. Arrived when expected.
