Books on Gemology?

bobsi18 · 01-30-2011, 05:05 PM

Hi all,
Strange question I know, but wondering if anyone happens to know of good resources to purchase non fiction ebooks of Gemology/the study of gemstones? Have just started a course, and am yet to get the book list figured out, but a lot of the 'recommended readings' are huge hard cover books, and it would be brilliant to get them in ebook format. Some are newish (past 5 years or so) but a lot of the books are much older (published between 1950-1970).

Any ideas? Oh and to make it trickier (I know there are some geographical boundaries) - I'm in Australia.

Thanks

TheSmithsonian books from Amazon are absolutely the gem and mineral bibles. Pocket sized, full color.
