Book Reviews of Gemstones: Understanding, Identifying, Buying
Book Review: great if limited
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book and received the volume immediately. The book is slender but has a great set of pictures of the different gems. The book is set up like a dictionary with a discussion of each major (and many minor) gem usually with a review of how to identify it and how to distinguish some of the more common fakes.
My only objection is that the book wasn't long enough.
I liked the book a lot and would recommend it to anyone who loves gems.
Book Review: Gemstones

A pretty good book, especially the opening sections about the history of gemstones and the methods used to identify diamonds. Book Review: Great detail!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you need a book on Gemstones, this is the one. Awesome pictures and great detail on discribing the many different gems around the world. If you are a collector of gemstones, this is a MUST HAVE!"
