Good quality; mostly too close to seeBy Florence JaneGorgeously rendered pics; but be aware that all stones are in extreme closeup; giving the images a singularly difficult-to-perceive quality.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great BookBy IxiasLove the book. The pictures are great. The articles on the stones will be a great resource for beginners and add details for the long time hobbyist. Add the fact you can carry it with you to reference any time; cant beat that!
