1 Star Save Your Money; Join A Local Rock Club
Very disappointing. No new rockhounding sites and very brief descriptions of the well known sites (about a page per site). Few pictures. There are plenty of rockhounding websites with information for Washington and lots of local rockhounding clubs that will be a better use of your time and money.
5 Stars A great field guide
This is a well written guide to the essential rock locales in Washington. Most of the locations are family friendly and the maps / directions are easy to follow. I would recommend this to anyone interested in exploring the diversity of minerals in this state.
