Review "Natural materials are the basis for many types of collections. [the author} breaks down materials to the atomic level and builds them up from there. Bark feathers, gemstones, blood, milk and leather are all grist for her mill." Museum News, Jul-Aug 2006"Some of the unique and useful data is summarized in tables, including asbestiform minerals, forms of quartz, fool's gold minerals, gems and ornamental stones, jade and other materials mistaken for it, plus a number of toxic minerals...the book makes an ideal reference for natural objects. Nice illustrations, a user-friendly index, and an easy-to-read writing style are additional attributes." - Rocks & Minerals, Oct. 2006 Book Description A comprehensive reference on the composition, structure and properties of a wide range of natural materials
