Jaspers & Agates from the California Coast Ranges
by Hans Gamma.
Years in the making, this book is the first to showcase the remarkable jaspers and agates found in the spectacular Coast Ranges of California. I've
collaborated with pioneer collectors, miners and regional specialists to present the most comprehensive overview of this material ever published.
Two of California’s most popular jaspers – Morgan Hill and Hornitos – have been thoroughly researched, and many unique variations are beautifully pictured.
New finds in the Santa Monica Mountains and elsewhere in Southern California by a young man with the Midas touch are pictured and
explained. Additionally, tribute is paid to the legacy of David Warren, whose vast private ranch holds some of the most dazzling and diverse jasper deposits ever found.
Collecting in many areas of the California coast is now impossible
because of government or private property restrictions. All such
obstacles are magically lifted within these pages - here is your
opportunity to see over 320 jaspers and agates from 41 different  C
alifornia sites!
140 pages and lavishly illustrated with over 320 pictures.
The book measures 10 1/4" x 8 1/2".
