This book is packed with information useful for Gem-A students. It has more useful information than the Gem-A course materials! The small size is convenient to carry anywhere.
However, the black & white photos are poorly printed. It is a bit silly to have a black & white photo of a carving displaying labradorescence. Many of the inclusion photos are not clear as well.
This book gets 4 stars for the text and no stars for the photos. Hopefully the printing will be improved with the next edition. Then this book will be a real gem.

Great reference book for the gemology student, gemology enthusisst, or gemologist.

Condition of the bool has an issue. The binding on a "new" book came apart!!

But, the book is a must for my reference library.

I purchased this book. I have become interesed in gemsstones and this book gives a lot of information on the formation, origin, make up of Natural Gems. There is a excellent section regarding synthetics,lab created,and treatment of various gemstones.

ho già la versione cartacea, ma la nuova versione per kindle mi permette di studiare (gem-a student) senza l'impiccio del libro. Un libro essenziale per chi studia gemmologia
