5.0 out of 5 stars My grandma loves it, May 3, 2002
By A Customer
I bought this book for my grandma about 5 or 6 years ago. Its a VERY SMALL book. fits in your pocket, but definatly worth reading. basic info on every gem on the planet.
but if you want detailed, page after page long info on a certain rare gem- this is not the book. this is just a gorgeous simple overview.

This book is perfect for gem collectors. The information is easy to understand. I have loaned it out to several friends who have liked it as well.
