Format:Paperback
Very old looking B&W introductory small book on basics of faceting gems _ far from being updated from its original first edition of ..... April 1938! (maybe 1st?).
Worth only a few 'carats' of dimes/pennies/euro cents

This is a hobby of all hobby's to turn a bit of rock into a gem fantastic the only grudge I have is: I'm seventy two years of age but this keeps me rocking, and making Jewelry. I'm loving it

Don't bother!
16 July 2006
Format:Paperback
This book is extremely dated. It lacks practical "how to" information and technical detail for cabochon cutting. There is more detail for faceting, but not enough to actually do faceting. The language is stilted and verbose. It is written in a "tour guide" style, you would not get the impression that the author had actually done any of this kind of work himself. Don't bother!

Great lapidary for beginners!

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book will appeal to all rock hounds. It provides great lapidary techniques for everyone, from the novice to the expert.
If you want to take a rough gem all the way to its full beauty, this book - and a few dollars that all hobbies require - will assist you through all the steps.
