They are minerals Marie!
Ce vrei tu e un ghid pentru identificarea de minerale nu de pietre. Rocile sunt agregate de minerale, simplist vorbind.
Asta arata decent. Sunt multe carti cu multe poze colorate prin comert, dar sunt pline de info vagi sau pur si simplu gresite. Stai departe de cele in Romana, sunt traduse prost.
Daca te pasioneaza, si vrei sa stii mai mult de atat, recomand orice manual de mineralogie.
this book is a good general reference on all things rocks and minerals. the layout is simple to follow and the language is easy to understand (specialised knowledge not required).
Rocks and Minerals
it is a general guide so it probably wont cover every possible example but it is a good starting place.
Thanks! This will be my first attempt at doing anything out in the field so I'm hugely excited about it, even if it will be slow going and clumsy. =)
Got any recommendations for field identification books? I've got the Dorling Kindersley and the Philips guides at the moment - but they seem a bit light on the details. Are there any "classic" field guides worth picking up?

Lots of pretty pictures for him just now, and the text will be easy enough to read by age 10(ish), maybe younger if he maintains a really big interest like I did with dinosaurs at around that age.
