This book provides a good amount of reference information related to specific gemstones without going into extensive detail. Therefore, it's a terrific book to browse through or for the novice, but may not contain enough information for a hard-core enthusiast. The index is easy to use, and the writing is pleasing. Lots of photos and illustrations make it a good book for children and adults alike.
