Granite pegmatite crystals have long been admired by gem and mineral collectors as a source of fine specimens and gem materials.

With 209 stunning color photos and clear, authoritative text, this book provides a thorough discussion. Chapters cover pegmatite forms and distributions, interior structures, crystal, mineral, and gem pockets, and references for further study. Examples are from North America as well as worldwide.
