The Mineral Book is a part of the best-selling Wonders of Creation Series! It has been developed for multi-level teaching, with special color-coding on three skill levels. This educational resource is filled with full-color pictures and illustrations, and can be used in the classroom, for independent study, or homeschool settings.

Created to make mineralogy accessible to beginners, students, and hobbyists as well as:

  • Learn about the order and beauty of minerals shaped by the Creator
  • Find out the properties of minerals, where they can be found, and how they are used, along with fun facts
  • Includes a 24-inch, full-color pull-out poster!

Minerals are a gift of God’s grace. Every day we touch them, seeing the diamond in an engagement ring or a copper chain with a cross on it. Minerals are touched on in video games like Minecraft® and Mineral ValleyTM, making them more a part of our daily experience.

Salt, one vital mineral, helps maintain the fluid in our blood cells and is used to transmit information in our nerves and muscles. Also, Jesus told his followers that we are the salt of the earth (Matthew 5:13), something thus needed for health and flavor. Here is a God-honoring book that reveals the first mention of minerals in the Bible, symbolic usages, their current values in culture and society, and their mention in heaven.

My child learned so much from this text and I loved how it related everything back to God's word.
Great book
Review by debbie
My non-loving Science daughter has loved the General Science 1/2 series, especially with the Academy add-on!
Beautiful and interesting
Review by Andrea
This book is packed with beautiful pictures and interesting information like all the others in this excellent series!
Wonders of Creation books are collectibles to be enjoyed by the family as well as an excellent junior high choice for science, especially when combined with Academy! So affordable,
Highly recommended!

Great resource
Review by Jessica
My daughter loves learning about rocks and this book has been a wonderful resource for rocks and beyond.
Wonderful
Review by Evelyn
This entire series is so great! I love that it is scientifically accurate and zero evolution, or other non-proven theories, being taught as fact. I can feel comfortable handing this to my child. I don't have to worry about secular indoctrination agendas. Wonderful layout and pictures bring the subject to life! So thankful for this entire series!
Great addition to curriculum
Review by Sarah
We used this book alongside the God’s Design for Heaven & Earth science curriculum. This book was useful for further information when going through the minerals lesson. The book is filled with large, full-color pictures and engaging for readers and non-readers to look through.
Awesome for exploring
Review by Fiona
My daughter learnt a lot and it made science come to life!!!
Highly recommended by 4th grader
Review by Laurel
Review dictated by my 9 year old daughter, who read the book for her own enjoyment (rather than as part of the science curriculum): "The book is awesome. I love the Minerals book because it is easy to understand and it has parts designed to be read by different age levels. I like that it has Bible verses mixed in that went with the science facts. It comes with a 24-inch fold-out poster in the back and its pictures are awesome - very detailed and clear. I would recommend this book for 1st grade with help, and maybe 3rd grade by themselves. I loved it!"
Such an interesting explanation of rocks and minerals!
Review by DW
My 7th grade daughter used this book as part of her Earth Science course and ended up loving the book she was most dreading! The pictures truly captivate the audience - even when it’s a middle school girl sure she doesn’t love Science! Really interesting information on where the rocks and minerals are found and mined. Highly recommend!
