This vintage book contains a detailed exposition and catalogue of the
fluorescent and phosphorescent gems and minerals, and includes detailed
information on the uses of ultraviolet light in the earth sciences. This
fascinating and comprehensive handbook is highly recommended for those
with an interest in fluorescent minerals, and it would make for a worthy
addition to collections of allied literature. The chapters of this
volume include: "Introduction to Gemmology", "Radiation Sources and
Technique", "The Florescent Minerals", "Appendix One", "Appendix Two",
and "Abridged Bibliography". Many antiquarian books such as this are
increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind
that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high
quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new
introduction on gemmology.
