5.0 out of 5 stars If you only own one book on gems, this should be it!, 3 May 2003
This is a fabulous book containing some of the most impressive gem and mineral photography in print. The photos were taken by Erica and Harold Van Pelt who are the most revered gemological photographers in the world. In addition, the text is well organized and flawlessly researched. Gems and Crystals really captures the magic responsible for mankind's obsession with gem minerals. I highly recommend this book to anyone with a passion for gems.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gem packed with beautiful photos and lots of information, 6 April 2002
By A Customer
The book is telling the story of what is the cultural history of each gem, crystal or mineral, and explains the geography and the chemical story and includes associated legends. But it is possible to buy the book just for the purpose of enjoying the photos.
