Gems & Minerals of Canada

Canada is the source of minerals as common and plain as asbestos to extremely valuable diamonds.  This 32-page resource showcases Canada’s mineral heritage with information about its minerals, mines and mining history.  The book includes carefully drawn mineral specimen pictures, text, and games to reinforce the information presented throughout the book.

The World of Minerals & Crystals is a great

resource for teachers, mineral club leaders, scouts and

museum program directors.  This 40-page resource introduces children to minerals, literally from A to Z, their physical properties, forms and many uses in our everyday lives.  The reading/coloring section is followed by a

number of fun activities like crossword puzzles, word finds and even a mineral cootie catcher.  All the activities reinforce the information from the coloring section.
