1.0 out of 5 stars
Absolutely non-scientific!,
By Tucson librarian (Tucson, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Essence of Gemstones (Rocks, Minerals and Gemstones) (Hardcover)
I purchased this book as a science resource for my school library and was horrified when I began reading it. There is almost no scientific data, and many descriptions are similar to this one for the pink pearl: "With this pearl, the animal kingdom points out to us that we have forgotten the agreement that we have made with God - to protect all living beings and especially those that are subordinate to our development." Nearly all crystal descriptions are filled with references to God and most impart human characteristics to the crystals.
Whacko! This is not a scholarly resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Book!,
By Ryan Allis (Bradenton, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Essence of Gemstones (Rocks, Minerals and Gemstones) (Hardcover)
This book contained vast amounts of information on every gem topic there is. It helped me tremendously in learning about gems. It also saved me a lot of money when I went out and purchased a ruby bracelet for my mother and diamond ring for my wife. I probably saved at least a thousand dollars just from using the knowledge obtained from this book. It is a great book and I recommend everyone buying it. It is a great investment!
