5.0 out of 5 stars My grandma loves it
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but with limited information
It's a nice book if all you want or need is a basic reference about gemstones. It doesn't go into the properties to assist with purchasing. Nice photos and compact.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good purchase for stone collectors., July 6, 2011

This review is from: Gemstones (DK Pockets) (Paperback)
It's great to have lots of information about stones in a pocket guide. This one is in some coated paper, making it durable. Different stones get different pages and the information layout is well written. Things one might need to know when looking or buying stones is in this book. The PRICE value for stones is not, but it does tell how other minerals and inclusions are supposed to look. Definately worth buying.

This is a great pocket guide. Great for 7-10 year olds interested in rocks but not wanting to read exhaustive information. My daughter loves this. Bought her own copy after checking it out at the school library.

I often buy and give these little books to people who are curious about gems and minerals. This one was very inexpensive so I added it to my holiday collection of stocking stuffers.
