Rocks and Minerals B/C

Lol, ^^ Second that!!

Anybody know the best field guide to rocks and minerals?? I know SO likes the Smithsonian Ones, any others??

field guides: there isn't really a BEST field guide, it all depends on YOU or the user... (ie, you/SO may like Smithsonian, I don't really care for their rocks FG)
Audobons tend to have their photos and info in different locations, but they tend to have more info than some FG's

I really like Simon and Schuster's. They have lots of scientific/qualitative information. It's pretty old, but I think they might update the guides regularly.
