Crystals and gold

"A delightful collection of anecdotes from the author's life. [...] His avocation of mineral collecting was pursued at all times and in all places where he found himself, and in this work he tells where he went and what he found. [...] Of the 18 chapters, 5, 6, 10, and 11 treat wholly or in part the collecting of crystals of gemstones. Chapter 5 and 6, particularly, describe his experiences in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, in which region the author was one of the earliest collectors of record. Historically important but rare and little noticed."-​-​Gemology by J. Sinkankas, entry no. 1502.
