Description
| Volume 1 of the popular series by Motohiko Shibayama has been substantially revised! The first volume of the popular rock-hunting guidebook series, which introduces colorful minerals* and rocks found near water in their original state for easy comparison, has been substantially revised! [Major revisions include] *Mineralogical illustrations have been expanded! Four new species have been added, and 34 species found in the rivers and seashores of Japan have been introduced. *Renewed Spot Guide! Nineteen new spots have been added and updated (24 spots in total) in response to changes in riverside and seashore areas. *More clear photos! In response to reader feedback, many photos have been replaced with more helpful ones when searching for rocks. *Improved usability! The expressions of mineral data, size, access information, etc. have been revised for even greater ease of use. *** In mineral catalogs, you often see beautiful crystals that are well polished and have good coloration, but when you actually find them on riverbanks or seashores, most of them are stones or grains that are not so obvious at a glance. You can try breaking up the parent rock, straining river gravel, or collecting them with a magnet... There is a knack to finding them. In this book, the author draws on his many years of experience looking for rocks and introduces 24 spots in Japan where you can easily find rocks, complete with maps. Most of the photographs of minerals and rocks are shown as they were when they were picked up, so that you can compare and refer to them when you are actually looking for rocks. In addition to an illustrated guide to 34 typical minerals found on riverbanks and seashores, the revised edition of Volume 1 provides a thorough explanation of the basics of stone searching, including how to identify the minerals you collect, a geology course on how minerals are formed in the first place, and how to polish the stones you bring home. Take this book with you to the river or ocean to find your own beautiful stones! |
