The Diamond Formula offers the diamond industry and all interested parties a comprehensive text on synthetic diamonds, joining together the research, achievements, theories, and experimental and analytical data by recognized experts in the field, while encompassing a gemmological interpretation. This book offers the average gemmologist, gemmological student, or interested party a concise and easy-to-decipher overview of diamonds to date. Each of the elements and various topics have at some time been the subject of a lengthy and detailed text in their own right, and references are used to ensure that the reader can follow up these leads. The text also includes the history of diamond synthesis, commercial applications, gemmological properties, and much more.

Identification Made Easy,
By Susan (Toronto , ON Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Diamond Formula: Diamond Synthesis: A gemmological perspective (Paperback)
This title is perfect for anyone interested in the fabrication and identification of synthetic diamond. It has just the right mix of reference materials and is written in a comfortable easy to use format. No student or practicing gemmologist (or jeweller) should be without it.
