Precious Stones is a comprehensive guide to gemstones, written by renowned gemologist George F. Kunz and published in 1885. The book covers a wide range of topics related to gemstones, including their history, properties, mining locations, and cultural significance. Kunz provides detailed descriptions of over 200 different gemstones, including diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and many lesser-known stones. He also includes information on the cutting and polishing of gemstones, as well as their use in jewelry and other decorative arts. The book is illustrated with over 100 black and white drawings and photographs, making it a valuable resource for gemologists, jewelers, and anyone with an interest in precious stones.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
