Reviews
The simple genius in Renee Newmans Exotic Gems series is that no books like them have been written. Of course there are several places to find buying guides; a simple search for gemstone buying guide will yield many results. What these other guides cover however can be found within the first twenty pages of Exotic Gems. What follows in Volume Three, as with its predecessors, is a wholly comprehensive look at specific varieties of gems not commonly featured in jewelry store cases. Covered in Volume Three are four selections, including Matrix Opal, Fire Agate, Blue Chalcedony, and several varieties of tourmaline. For each of these gems is an entire section of Exotic gems designed to provide the reader with everything they need to know, whether caring for a gem they already have or seeking to purchase one. The stones are described in great detail, including origin, localities, varieties, care information, and possible treatments. The most represented stone in Exotic Gems Volume 3 is Tourmaline, and represented it surely is. Over sixty pages, Renee Newman describes the history of Tourmaline, it's chemical and optical properties, and each of the many unique varieties of tourmaline in depth. As you read through the book, there are also several very informative sections that many people aren't familiar with, including a section on the steps to cutting fire agate, and one on treated Andamooka matrix opal. Maybe the most impressive feature of Exotic Gems is its amazing wealth of photographs. Over 100 individuals and companies in the gemstone trade have donated their images to this volume alone, and the end result is a book that provides as much information visually as it does through Renee's excellent writing. -- Jeweler's Ethics Association|9780929975481|
