Rocks and minerals are important. They make up much of our planet and are mined to provide many of the things around us, from cars to computers. Even your body contains minerals that keep you alive. Rocks are made up of crystals of minerals. Different amounts of minerals make up different rocks (though some rocks are made from just one mineral).

DK Eye Wonder Rocks and Minerals introduces geologic elements to budding scientists – Did you know that the amount of gold in any material is measured in carats and that 24-carat gold is pure gold? Find out facts like this and much more in this fascinating guide to rocks and minerals.

This text takes children on a journey to the core of the Earth and back. Take a trip through a deep diamond mine, discover the secrets that are hidden in rocks and dig down to discover the treasure beneath our feet.
