Photoatlas of Inclusions in Gemstones, Volume 3

Photoatlas Volume 3, the companion volume to Volume 2 (released in December 2005), is scheduled for release in 2008. Photoatlas Volume 3 focuses on inclusions in the major commercial gems (diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds) and inclusions in rare and unusual host materials, such as ekanite and taaffeite.

This last book in the Photoatlas library concludes the 35-year collaboration of the renowned gemological authorities, Eduard Gübelin and John Koivula. With the completion of Volume 3, Gübelin and Koivula have provided gemologists with the complete, authoritative photomicrographic reference volumes on inclusions in gemstones.

Each chapter in Volume 3 contains useful information on the microscopic characteristics of natural, synthetic and treated host materials, along with numerous color photomicrographs and a section on selected references.
