    This is an interesting little book about stones and where they come from. Pretty much a child's book, but adults may appreciate the information.

    I thought this would be about how jewelry was made. You know, mining, cleaning, cutting, etc. Instead it’s more of how magma turns into different kinds of rocks, so it’s more of a geological book.
