Excellent reference book

History of gemstones and extensive mineral types/families, including chemical composition, along with where and how specific stones are found. Great index!

MOST COMPREHENSIVE GEM BOOK I OWN!!!!!

I have an extensive library of Gemological information. This is the most comprehensive book of colored stones I own. I have just finished my GIA diamond grading course and now must move on to COLORED STONE identification. This book will be invaluable!!!! Thanx
