Gemstones of the World

We highly recommend: Gemstones of the World (fifth edition) by Walter Schumann. One of the most popular gemstone books ever written, with over one million copies sold. It has about 100 pages of basic gemstone information and about 200 pages dedicated to photos and descriptions of over 100 gems and gem materials.

Gemstone and Jewelry Book

We highly recommend: Gemstone Tumbling, Cutting, Drilling and Cabochon Making (by Jim Magnuson and Val Carver). This is our favorite book for a person who does rock tumbling and now wants to make beads, pendants, and other jewelry from tumbled stones. Includes an introduction to cabochon cutting.
