Debuted on Amazon in November 2024, this impressive book showcases the beauty of nature’s finest art – minerals!  The best of them have the same attributes as the finest paintings and sculptures. Whether you are a newcomer to the mineral world or a seasoned collector, you will find this book fascinating. Images of spectacular minerals leap off the page with their vibrant colors and formations. Included are details about each specimen, historical or anecdotal. See what experts in the field consider a world-class specimen. The authors are passionate, lifelong collectors who have traveled the earth-sharing here their love of the beauty of these natural pieces of art, resources of our civilization and culture that are also treasures in and of themselves.  This book may look like just a somewhat “lighter” version of  our IKONS: The Beauty of Fine Minerals, when, in fact, it is a slightly different version with different text and some different mineral specimens, making it the perfect companion book to the larger, more hefty version of IKONS: The Beauty of Fine Minerals.
