"This laconic book gave me a good introduction into the esoteric world of gemstones. A great, consice description of each gem. The photos are incredible, most of them I later discovered in the Natural History Museum (London).
The most spectacural of gems being Watermelon Tourmaline! Well pehaps after Chysoberil Alexandrite!"
