The Nature of California Guidebook: Gemstones from the Pala Pegmatites

A world-class gemstone mine lay hidden in the mountains between Los Angeles and San Diego, California. The variety and range of gemstones found in the mines there are so vast that a guide had to be written about them! 

This is the first guidebook to the large variety of gemstones and crystals found in the granite pegmatites surrounding Pala, California, that includes the crystals in their natural rough state right out of the ground. Crystals included: Quartz, Tourmaline, Aquamarine, Kunzite, Lepidolite, and more! 

This tome is perfect for the amateur gem hunter or crystal enthusiast, as well as for the expert, with beautiful unique photos of the crystals up close. A brief description of subtle energies and suggested experiments with crystal vibrations is included.
