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.
