DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Facts About Precious Stones The object of this little book may be stated in a few words. We desire to place in the hands of our customers, in compact form, a few important facts regarding precious stones with the rules which should govern their wise selection. Larger works on this subject may be found in libraries, but the coveted hints are usually buried in scientific matter, and the size of the volume is out of all proportion to the needs of the reader who wishes to be guided in purchasing, rather than instructed in historical or technical lore.
