Review Quotes
Gems & Gemology
"This book chronicles Gübelin’s 65 years of pioneering research but also provides insight into his profound humanity. Even though the work of a research gemologist is often solitary, Dr. Gübelin touched thousands of lives through his prolific writings and photomicrographs, his extensive travels, the work of his laboratory, the educational organizations he helped establish, and the important gem collection he assembled. This richly illustrated volume is much more than an in-depth biography of one of gemology’s most important forefathers. It also provides a glimpse into the development of gemology from its infancy through the end of the 20th century and into the 21st. A must for any gemologist who is keenly interested in gemstone inclusions. It is especially geared to those seeking to understand the historical origins of gemology, as well as the life and innumerable contributions of one of gemology’s greatest pioneers."
