If you're going to buy a Gemmology book, buy this one.,
By Flossy "Flossy" (Hertfordshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gemstones of the World (Hardcover)
I bought this book many years ago and have used it so often it is untrue. The lay out is easy to understand and the stones are grouped logically, with everything from crystal formation to MOH hardness to chemical formula. I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in gemmology, as it contains the detailed information for professionals, as well as plenty of information for the enthusiastic amateur. In short it's a comprehensive reference book that I keep turning to again and again, and though I have other gem books, this one is all you need. If you're going to buy a gem reference book, buy this one.

A very fine book !,
This review is from: Gemstones of the World (Hardcover)
This Book is the ultimate book for collectors.It describes the Origin and Structure of Gemstones. A fare index of the worlds gemstones. Full page pictures of gemstones almost on every secound page. It shows the color range of each stone, I personally find this book perfect. Other books have one picture the most know color and only write about the other colors. I would recomend this book to anyone and already have ! And not to mention the low price for this fine book ! Gemology is a wonder of nature !
