This book is a good reference for anyone working with gems and stones. Lots of pictures and detailed information at a very good price. Book is also a good size for storing at your work desk for quick reference.

Love this book on gem cutting and general info on how to do this art.
It's very good for beginners as info and the how to do's, nice quick to review.

It is not like there are a lot of books on this topic written recently. This is a very useful and descriptive book on a topic that I wanted to learn about. Pictures are dated but still quite informative and there is a lot of interesting material to learn from it. I am very happy with my purchase.

This book has value to the beginner lapidary, and I think even to the experienced lapidary. It has some good ideas to share with the reader.

This book on Cabochon Cutting is a great book for getting started in Lapidary cabochons, or for refreshing info to the more experienced. I highly recommend it to folks new and old to the hobby. It explains all the steps required to create a cabochon in good detail with great illustrations.

I found this book to be well worth the investment for a person like myself who I would characterize as a casual hobbyist. It gives you the ins and outs of 'cutting' a stone into a cabochon. I would call it more of a pamphlet than a book for its softback printing. It comes in handy when reviewing parts of the process, the color photos help as well. The photos seem a bit dated, but this process is the same, as when electricity hit the cutting machines, or even further back than that! Simple enough for me to understand and utilize in the process.

Before I bought this book I had a small idea as how to cut some gem stones but this book
is a greate help and teacher as how they should be cut properly. I recomand this book to all hobby cutters and beginners.

Filled with great information. This book gives a comprehensive of how to make cabochons. I'm to get started.
