Gemmology

by Peter G. Read

Since Gemmology was published, readers have used it to gain an in-depth appreciation of the science of gemmology, its history and practice. This third edition has been completely revised to cover the latest methods of gem enhancement and identification, as well as the latest test instruments and laboratory techniques. Gemmology serves as an invaluable reference guide for gemmologists, professionals and students, and is an invaluable text for anyone in the gemmological profession. Also included are details of the Gemmological Association's Foundation Course together with advice on examination techniques.

really good

[John Rasmussen · Rating 5 out of 5]

I always have this book on my current shelf, I am rereading the chapter on crystalography. This is the text that the Gemmological Association in England uses for their FGA course. It is an excellent text.

Don't expect a lot of glossy eye-candy. These are the facts, in text, saying what needs to be said, in layman's terms.
