Gemstones

Great little book, so much information in this tiny small pocket guide! Much more than I expected...

Before you buy your next stone, flip through this

This book is perfect for gem collectors. The information is easy to understand. I have loaned it out to several friends who have liked it as well.

gemstones

great little book. lots of pictures and interesting facts about gemstones. bought this for my grand-daughter; she loved it.

My grandma loves it

I bought this book for my grandma about 5 or 6 years ago. Its a VERY SMALL book. fits in your pocket, but definatly worth reading. basic info on every gem on the planet.but if you want detailed, page after page long info on a certain rare gem- this is not the book. this is just a gorgeous simple overview.
