Customer Reviews

Wonderful reference work!

This book is a wonderful reference resource and an amazing deal. Highly recommended.

The Book is Stones makes the Crystal bible look like a joke

Better pictures, more in-depth information on more stones than the crystal bible. Worth EVERY penny! I work at a gem and crystal store and this book along with Kaleidoscope are my two must haves.
