Overview
Winner, 1994 Geoscience Info Society Best Reference Work Award This is the first comprehensive bibliography of gems and precious stones ever published, containing over 7,500 entries--predominantly books, but also periodical articles of significant material of historical value, from 1500 up to 1985, with some books published after that date. All important works are described, collated, and assessed in terms of content, accuracy, and importance, with remarks added on bindings and physical features that will enable librarians, researchers, booksellers, and collectors to verify editions and states as well as completeness of copies. Illustrations; subject index. The bibliography is based mostly on the Sinkankas Library, generally agreed to be the largest and most complete collection of its kind, now in the Gemological Institute of America, Santa Monica, CA.
