【實用書籍app】FASCINATING AND BEAUTIFUL STONES|最夯免費app-綠色工廠好玩App

The world of stone formations introduced in this book app focuses mostly on silica-based stones such as agate and jasper. All most 380 illustrations consist mainly of cut surfaces of stones to show what colors and forms are created in a stone as a result of various minerals having been mixed and compressed together. The world of stone formation is filled with surprises surpassing our imagination. In that world, we can find condensed versions of nature’s various forms. It is the author’s hope that this book app will fill in the gaps between typical illustrated books of stones and minerals and illustrated books on stone appreciation.【Special features】・Enlarging images to a specific size by pinch-out operation・Enjoying the “Stone Puzzle” and posting to social network service including in iOS app only・Showing thumbnail images of all stones・Enlarging text size, Searching all text, and bookmarking【About the Author】Hideharu Yamada was born in 1962 in Tokyo Japan.
