Dig down into the history of more than 50 types of rocks, minerals, and other treasures, and uncover the stories behind these marvelous materials.

Humans have been fascinated by rocks and minerals for thousands of years, but where do they come from? What are they used for? And why are some so valuable?

This book isn't another run-of-the-mill catalogue - it is filled with not just jewels but gems of information. Find out how lapis lazuli connects the ancient Egyptians to Renaissance painters, how coal powered the Industrial Revolution, why opals led to underground towns being created, and which minerals are hiding in smartphones. With colorful photography of rocks and artefacts, and gorgeous illustrations to bring the stories to life, this book will delight young readers. A detailed reference section covers all the key information and a glossary explains tricky terms.

Treasure explores the incredible influence that rocks and minerals have on our lives and is the ideal present for young rockhounds.
