Photoatlas of Inclusions in Gemstones, Volume 1

Photoatlas, Volume 1, first published in 1986 and now in its fourth printing, has become a standard reference in the gemological field. Dr. Eduard J. Gübelin and John I. Koivula collaborated on this book, producing an exhaustive resource on the geological paragenesis of gemstones, as well as the physical, optical, and chemical properties of gemstones and their guest inclusions. Three distinguished mineralogists contribute essays on specific topics related to the genesis of gemstones.

Each chapter contains information on the micro-characteristics of natural gemstones, synthetic and treated host materials, along with a complete selection of photomicrographs and a suggested reference section.
