The Geography of Crystals - Becca Walker

In The Geography of Crystals, young adventurer Elara teams up with two cheerful crystal companions, Ruby and Quartz, for a globe-trotting journey to discover where crystals come from, how they form, and why each one is unique. From glowing volcanic caves to mineral-rich waters deep underground, Elara learns that Earth is a brilliant storyteller and that crystals are among its most dazzling chapters.
