really good

[John Rasmussen · Rating 5 out of 5]

I always have this book on my current shelf, I am rereading the chapter on crystalography. This is the text that the Gemmological Association in England uses for their FGA course. It is an excellent text.

Don't expect a lot of glossy eye-candy. These are the facts, in text, saying what needs to be said, in layman's terms.
