Editorial Reviews
Anglic Gemcutter
"Praiseworthy, a beautiful gem-pictorial reference and a help to everyone in viewing colored stones as a gemologist or gem dealer would . . .One of finest collections of gem photographs I've ever seen. The amount of work in this book is to be believed only by holding it in your hands. If you see the book, you will probably purchase it on the spot."

Journal of Gemmology
"With colour on almost every opening few could resist this book whether or not they were in the gemstone and jewelry trade . . .here the reader is given all the information needed to show the custoemr what a stone is, interesting facts about particular species and advice on cleaning and conservation. . . we are show how to evaluate cuts, styles, color, inclusions. Treatments, phenomenal stones and synthetic stones are also described. Beautifully produced with fresh photographs of a high standard, it could be sold to the customer along with their gemstone or jewelry purchase."
