Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is a great book that gives detailed information about numerous gemstones. Each stone has a write-up of it's history, location and identification. A side box provides scientific information such as specific gravity, cleavage, class, etc. Clear pictures help with identification. There are also sections on gem enhancement, collecting, and lapidary. It is nice to have this little book packed with so much information on hand for reference. I continually pick it up and refer to it, and often just enjoy paging through. Very well written for the amateur, or serious gem collector.
