Items related to Gem testing
The overall format of previous editions has been maintained and new information has been incorporated in a similar style. This edition has two new chapters, on the manufacture and enhancement of gemstones and the old chapter on the detection of synthetic, imitation and composite stones has been rearranged. In the past decade the development of new synthetics has proceeded apace. Nowadays clean rubies and emeralds need very careful investigation since they could be natural or synthetic. However careful use of the microscope can still elucidate many problems and new instruments are shown in the text.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 5th or later Edition. In this new edition of Gem Testing the author has brought the text completely up to date and has included all the gem materials which have become available since the seventh edition was published in 1964. One of the outstanding features of this long-established work is its simple and practical approach which has made the previous editions so useful to students and gemmologists. This, the eighth edition, containing the latest information and practical techniques, is therefore essential to all who are concerned with the identification of gemstones. **The book has the beginning of foxing at the top and a small stain at the front. The jacket is a little rippled at the top.**. Seller Inventory # 002906
