Great book service
This most recent volume has updated my little research library. Each new edition has new stones and this one can stand alone as complete. It was listed as used in good condition. It is perfect and ThriftBooks.com got it to me quickly.

Important work, gorgeous pictures or raw gemstones!
This is the perfect book for adults who enjoy making jewelry, and who care about the gemstones in their more natural condition. there are plenty of fine books out there that teach the how to of basic jewelry making. But this book teaches gemstones as rocks. It doesn’t neglect the pretty pastime of playing with gems, of course. But it is more wholistic than most. I do wish it was a little larger so I could see the text more easily. —Mrs.M (Old Lady)

Book great, shipping procedures suck
The cover that wraps around the hardback itself was ripped but luckily the hardback underneath has the same glossy design so I threw it away, but the book itself is awesome it's the shipping, as always with Amazon, that's the problem. Why put a book in a box three times it's size with no filler to keep it stationary/ cushion falls? Corners were slightly damaged but overall still looks good, thank God. At the end of the day I recommend this product to those interested. I'm two years into working as a jeweler and have been wanting to educate myself on stones. Price is good and beat a car drive to a bookshop sometimes.

So glad I bought this!
It arrived in great condition and is full of all kinds of information. More information than I expected even. I'm very happy with this book and highly recommend it if you like anything gemstone related.

Beautiful photographs; concise information
This is a compact, comprehensive compendium of all the gemstones with beautiful 4-color photographs that are worthy of a coffee-table book, . The text provides complete descriptions of the gems that is more than sufficient for an amateur Gemologist
