The color treasury of gemstones

Elsevier/Phaidon

<p>Eighteen years ago the first edition of "Internal World of Gemstones" by Edward Gubelin appeared on the market. This much-honored book - already a standard gemological work - has now found a sequel which deepens the knowledge of gemstones and their origins considerably. The "Photoatlas of Inclusions in Gemstones" is the joint achievement of the internationally leading gemmologists Edward Gubelin (Switzerland) and John Koivula (USA). On 532 pages, with over 1400 color illustrations (selected from over 30,000 photomicrographs by the two authors), this Photoatlas of Inclusions familiarizes the reader with the fascinating internal world of gemstones. Yet the touch of genius in the photomicrography not only serves the beauty and singularity of gemstones - it is also, above all, of comprehensive assistance in their evaluating identification. With the help of this book, gemmologists, jewelers and goldsmiths throughout the world - merely equipped with a pocket lens - will be able to correctly interpret the enchanting inclusion scenes and thus protect themselves from disappointment and financial loss. A mercantile use in the best sense is amalgamated in this volume with a high idealistic gain. The unrivalled artist "Nature" reveals to the observer her incredible wealth of color and form. Apart from being a triumph of photomicrography, this is an illustrated gemological textbook which appeals equally to scientists, jewelers and aesthetes from other provinces.</p>
