Just ordered one! If there is already a thread, sorry I missed it. Jaspers and Agates from the California Coast Ranges by Hans Gamma eBay listing from the author - signed bookwww.ebay.com/itm/Jaspers-Agates-from-the-California-Coast-Ranges-by-Hans-Gamma/123774557761?hash=item1cd189de41:g:2jsAAOSw-fpc4u38Years 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 California sites!
140 pages and lavishly illustrated with over 320 pictures. The book measures 10 1/4" x 8 1/2".

Popped up on my screen this morning and I put it on my wish list. Sure looks gorgeous. Didn't pull the trigger on the book yet but only because I spent more than I should have on rocks.

Got the book a few days ago. Just had a chance to drool over it last night. A lot of good information and even better pictures. Some of those rocks don't even seem real!
