    A Field Guide to Gold, Gemstone & Mineral Sites of British Columbia (Sites within a day's drive of Vancouver) Volume 2 by Rick Hudson

    Back of the book blurb:  "Covering the area from Vancouver inland to Princeton, Merritt and Cache Creek, and as far up the coast as Whistle and Texada Island, this well-researched guidebook will teach you where to find some of the most sought-after minerals in the province.  Discover amethyst next to the road or find fossil trees over a metre long.  Enjoy a day hunting for quartz crystals, thunder eggs, malachite, garnet, marble or amber.

    This completely revised guide, with more sites and detail, is a valuable resource for both the armchair geologist and the active rockhound, providing a rich deposit of information that will turn any trip into a prospecting bonanza, including:|

    • mining history and prospecting techniques
    • over 260 sites in southwestern British Columbia with at-a-glance information of types of minerals, location and ease of access at each site
    • over 90 detailed maps and site drawings
    • glossary of geological terms
    • addresses of government offices, museums and mineral clubs and associations"
