    I'm looking for a book/reference to help identify the many varieties
    of semi-precious stones.  Eg. red jasper vs red tiger's eye vs red
    lapis or ocean vs botswana vs picture vs zebra vs dalmation jasper,
    etc. 

    I have many rock & gem guides, but they all tend to have one page
    for jasper and one for agate if you're lucky (but large multi-page
    spreads for the beryls! 8). 

    The rock and lapidary stores certainly seem to have labels and
    little chemical/metaphysical descriptions for all their stones, but
    none that I asked were able to help with a reference...  Should I
    stop looking in the Science/Geology section and start looking in the
    Metaphysical section of the bookstore for such a guide?  (hmph!)
