Rare Gemstones provides concise, interesting and practical details on uncommon gems that are being used by designers to create distinctive jewelry. It not only lists the identification properties of the gems, but tells you where they are found, how they are used, why they are unique, how they are priced, and how to care for them. High quality photos show the different colors and varieties of each gem and give you ideas on how each can be used creatively in jewelry. Written in a succinct, user-friendly style, Rare Gemstones is a companion book to Newmans Gemstone Buying Guide and an ideal reference for jewelers, sales associates, appraisers, gem collectors, gemology students, gem dealers and consumers.
