What Prof Dr. Gubelin has
to say about the book ?
In his letter to the authors Prof. Dr. Edward Gubelin
stated that it is an excellent book with its striking cover depicting a beautiful
and colourful collection of gemstones. Please accept my enthralled and heartfelt
thanks for your great kindness of sending me your informative new book.
Already the first look at your book is most inspiring with the pretty collection
of colour gemstones. Although new, I expected it to be an ordinary book about
gemstones but when leafing through it I saw that it was a completely new kind
of a gem book - actually a compilation of all the important gemmological parameters
by which gemstones can be recognized, identified and distinguished. Your new
book truly fills a gap which so far has been missing among the gemmological
literature and had you not had the excellent ideal of composing this book,
it would definitely have had to be invented some day. Therefore it was very
good indeed that it was your excellent idea to compose this book. It is a
tremendous help not only to beginners but also to experienced gemmologists
to find all the important gemmological parameters of each gemstones very quickly
and reliably. The book is beautifully enriched by an unusually magnificent
collection of colour portraits of all important gemstones and even their varieties.
You are indeed to be enthusiastically congratulated for this master piece."
These words of Prof. Dr. Edward Gubelin, the living legend of gemmology today,
is a testimony to the true value of the book
