    About this ebook

    When brilliant gemstones and colorful crystals begin appearing in seemingly random places starting on a Pacific beach, then in a California forest, they cause excitement. People think the gems are valuable jewels. But as the gems appear in more places, they cause chaos and danger. Why are they appearing? What are they? Who is doing it? Follow scientists Dan Ophelder and Nora Jonston as they race to find the answer and face the source of the ominous objects.
