Informative and insightful as well
This book is very informative about many gems and precious minerals; but I really like the way the author of this book, Daniel Dennis adds his own view points and insights.

Gems, hardcover informative book
It's a very very good book, covers most stones, gems. It's an enjoyable read, for the most part very factual. Author makes it clear when it's an opinion and not a fact he's stating. It's a great starter book. I plan on sharing my rock hound interests with my nieces and nephews. I know they will love this book. They have already started hunting for their favorite stones!

Informative and Humorous
This book is written for the layman; no long scientific diatribes here! Dan's sense of humor shines through so that in the midst of learning things I never knew, I was chuckling away. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about gemstones, their origins, mining methods, marketing methods and folklore, in the most entertaining way possible.
