The books arrived well packed and mostly as described. There was some foxing on some of the books that I wish would have been pictured. I am still happy with the purchase overall and got the set for a great price which I am satisfied with. Thank you! :)

  • WRITTEN BY A GEMSTONE HERO

    DR. KUNZ WAS ONE OF THE EARLY PIONEERS OF GEMOLOGY. MYSELF I HAVE BEEN A GEMOLOGIST SINCE 1975..EARNED IN RESIDENCE FROM GEMOLOGICAL INSTITUTE OF AMERICA. IN MY EARLY YEARS AS A G.G. I USED INFORMATION GATHERED FROM THIS BOOK FOR SLIDE LECTURES TO MANY ORGANIZATIONS. I ALREADY KNEW WHAT I WAS BUYING AS THIS IS A REPLACEMENT FOR THE ONE I RECEIVED IN 1970.....FULL OF STORIES AND FUN STUFF FROM THE WORLD OF GEMS...MY WORLD SO TO SPEAK...I NEVER MET THIS MAN,,BUT HE IS ONE OF MY HEROES..
