This is my bible through the years. My copy is very worn

I have used my copy for years. I keep it close to my book reading area and reference it all the time. Definitely a top bookshelf find!
Wonderful resource
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book was so good as a resource that our daughter wanted a second one...she is in the jewelry business and uses it as a great reference book. It contains great detailed photos of the gem stones, natural and cut, where they are mined and a bit of history with each, also.
