This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gem-Stones and Their Distinctive Characters Eauty, durability, and rarity: such are the three cardinal Virtues of a perfect gem-stone. Stones lacking any Of them cannot aspire to a high place in the ranks Of precious stones, although it does not necessarily follow that they are of no use for ornamental purposes. The case of pearl, which, though not properly included among gem-stones, being directly produced by living agency, yet holds an honoured place in jewellery, constitutes to some extent an exception, since its incontestable beauty atones for its comparative want Of durability.

Download or read book Diamonds and Precious Stones Their History Value and Distinguishing Characteristics written by Harry Emanuel and published by Schwarz Press. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the second edition of a comprehensive guide to the identification of gems, including information on the history, value, and distinguishing characteristics thereof. Written for the inexperience purchaser and trader, the author has aimed to provide a ready reference, which he has done by compiling his own experiences with precious stones and adding those facts and instructions given in preceding works which seemed of special value. This helpful guide will prove useful to the merchant by supplying him without trouble with the distinguishing characteristics of each gem, and to the amateur as affording him simple and easy means for distinguishing the false from the real. A brilliantly accessible handbook, Diamonds And Precious Stones will greatly appeal to anyone with an interest in the subject and is well deserving of a place in any collection of gemmological literature. This book was originally published in 1867, and is proudly republished here with a new introduction to the subject.
