Gem and Lapidary Materials - $39.50
For Cutters,
Collectors and Jewelers
by June
Culp Zeitner
Soft cover, 7" x 10", 347 pages.
Sample
page
Gem and Lapidary Materials provides a comprehensive overview
of the materials used in the lapidary arts throughout history and up to the present.
It is about minerals and rocks as lapidary materials. The descriptions stress
how the material looks to the lapidary artist, or jeweler or connoisseur. This
is not a book about mineralogy, nor a book about how to cut stones - it
is about the materials of lapidary, the art of the ages.
Chapters
include Introduction to Gem and Lapidary Materials, The Gems of History, Transparent
Faceting Materials, Crystalline Quartz, Cryptocrystalline Quartz: The Agate Family,
Quartz: Opaque But Colorful, Quartz: Strange and Wonderful Pseudomorphs, Cabochon
Favorites of Yesterday and Today, Cabochon and Carving Materials, Ornamental and
Decorative Gem Materials, Phenomenal Gems: Stars and Stripes, Metallic Gem Materials,
Organic Gem Materials: Gems fro Life, Rare, Little Known and Unusual Gem Materials,
and Gems from the Laboratory and Factory. Appendices provide information on the
Refractive Index and Dispersion of Gemstones, Educational Associations, and Topical
Publications. A particularly comprehensive bibliography lists several hundred
related books and references.
