Gemology by Atul Shukla
The book Gemology introduces readers to the world of gemstones, focusing on their allure and the trade dynamics. It explains that terms like gems, gemstones, colored stones, and stones are used interchangeably in the industry to maintain discretion, particularly in public settings. The global gem and jewelry market, estimated at $145 billion USD in 2005, is dominated by diamonds, gold, and platinum. India plays a significant role, being the largest gold consumer and a major center for diamond cutting and polishing. The book also delves into the science of gemology, teaching readers how to identify and evaluate gemstones based on cut, clarity, color, and authenticity. It explores the attraction of gems, whether for their beauty, metaphysical properties, or value, and offers practical knowledge for succeeding in the gem trade.
