'Crystal Mountains' tells the story of the early crystal hunters who roamed the mountains and glens of the Cairngorms during the 18th and 19th centuries in search of Scotland's famous gem - the smoky quartz or cairngorm. It provides a comprehensive history of this arduous and uncertain quest, and explains the geological background to the occurrence of the gem minerals, and is illustrated with numerous photographs of the Cairngorms National Park and previously unpublished photographs of mineral specimens, gemstones and artefacts made from them.
