Gemstone Buying Guide by Renee Newman (2003, Paperback, Illustrated)

I enjoyed this book on gemstones. The book featured color illistrations of stones as alaxandrite, kunzite, sapphire, and spinel to name a few. This book catagorized stone by classification and origin. It also discussed many approved treatment methods as well as uncommon ways to treat stones. The pictures and diagrams showed stone cutting techniques along with gemstone grading; from highly included to flawless stones. I would haved liked for the book to list a more deatailed pricing guide and ranges for high / low quality stone. Overall I felt this book was excellent in format and delivery of information. I would recommend this book.

The book is quit good with lots of detail both written and pictures. It would be nice if the book had a larger selection of stones. Also an evaluation of stones from there difrent locations where they are found. A posible hardback would be a nice addtion.
