Most of the guide is devoted to entries on specific rocks and minerals, arranged in sections on metallic and non-metallic minerals and rocks of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic origin. Each entry includes at least one dazzling color photograph, name and abbreviation, composition if more than one element, history, appearance, physical properties such as density and how to test for it, similar minerals and how to distinguish them, occurrence with an emphasis on Canadian sites, and interesting facts. Introductory chapters explain how to find, preserve, and display a collection. A brief glossary without pronunciation guides, and a table of the natural elements are provided. Both curators of minerals, Grice is at the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa, and Johnsen at the University of Copenhagen's Geological Museum.
