 Good for Beginners February 28, 2008
This book is good if you are just starting out looking at gemstones and gemmology. However it does not give much more than a brief outline of each stone with a few nice pictures which leaves you wanting more! Good reference charts at the back of the book. Other than the charts, no real visual identifying tips of any real value imo ie. microphotos etc or tips on id synthetics etc. Still a nice book to have and does contribute something when compared with other books.

Like all DK books, this is beautifully illustrated and informative. It's the kind of book you'll probably find yourself dipping into now and again, rather than reading cover to cover in one go. User friendly and doesn't baffle with unnecessary science.

It tell's you what and where they come from around the world. It's a really good book if someone really like's there Gem stones. It show's you all the different shape's and sizes of the stone's. I'm a really big fan of Gem's, I have got Citrine, All kinds of Garnet stones, Diamonds,Tanzanite etc etc.... The list just goes on.So take a look at it.
