Gemstones of the World - $24.50
Revised & Expanded Edition
by Walter Schumann
Hard cover, 5" x 8", 280 pages, copyright 1997, 1999
Gemstones of the World, the definitive guide to gems for over 20 years, takes the mystery out of appreciating, buying and selling gemstones of all kinds. It covers everything from the romance and historyof more than 1.400 gemstones to their geographic locations, scientific, physical, and color properties, and the way they are formed, structured and mined.
With many charts and diagrams, the author offers full coverage of the optical features of gems - light and color, luminescence, refraction, and inclusions - and about densities, and the chemical elements of each stone, with fascinating details on different cuts, polishing, synthetic and imitation gems, hardness, cleavage, classification, trade names, rarity and much more - all with an easy-to-understand text. And then there are the magnificent photographs of the stones themselves in brilliant full-color, with full data on the facing page. If you wanted only one book on gemstones in your library, this would be the one!
Chapters include Introduction, Origin and Structure of Gemstones, Properties of Gemstones, Deposits and Production of Gemstones, Cutting and Polishing of Gems, Description of Gemstones,Best Known Gemstones, Lesser Known Gemstones, Rocks as Gemstones, Organic Gemstones, New on the Market, Imitation and Synthetic Gemstones, Symbolism of Stones, and Table of Constants.
