Description

Gem Identification Made Easy is a practical guide to identifying diamonds and colored gems, and separating natural stones from imitations, treated stones, synthetics, and look-alikes. The book's approach is direct and easy to understand, making it accessible to anyone looking to master gem identification. With over 150 photographs and illustrations, including 80 in full color, the authors provide a simple, step-by-step system for identifying stones using essential instruments. Using these instruments, you can learn to spot synthetics, including synthetic emeralds and diamonds, filled diamonds, and diffused "blue" sapphires and "red" rubies. You can also identify recently discovered gems, such as "Mandarin" garnet and North Carolina's chromium-rich emeralds, as well as new treatments like surface coatings to create "fancy color" diamonds. By following this guide, you'll be able to quickly and confidently identify gemstones, and make informed decisions about buying and selling.
