Product Description
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 Associationâs Foundation Course together with advice on examination techniques.

ho già la versione cartacea, ma la nuova versione per kindle mi permette di studiare (gem-a student) senza l'impiccio del libro. Un libro essenziale per chi studia gemmologia
 Great for students October 5, 2009

This book is packed with information useful for Gem-A students. It has more useful information than the Gem-A course materials! The small size is convenient to carry anywhere.
However, the black & white photos are poorly printed. It is a bit silly to have a black & white photo of a carving displaying labradorescence. Many of the inclusion photos are not clear as well.
This book gets 4 stars for the text and no stars for the photos. Hopefully the printing will be improved with the next edition. Then this book will be a real gem.
Good reference book June 1, 2010

I purchased this book. I have become interesed in gemsstones and this book gives a lot of information on the formation, origin, make up of Natural Gems. There is a excellent section regarding synthetics,lab created,and treatment of various gemstones.
