INSIDE OUT • GEM•ology Through Lotus-Colored Glasses
(Now Shipping)

"It can be so easy to look at a gem or piece of jewelry and forget how many
people were involved in bringing it to market. Now, one Bangkok lab is releasing
a book to remind the world of the human aspect behind colored gemstones.."

Brecken Branstrator, National Jeweler



RUBY & SAPPHIRE • A Gemologist's Guide
(2017)

"The attention to detail is such as to make it the holy book of corundum. It
simply has no comparable."

Stuart Robertson, The GemGuide



RUBY & SAPPHIRE • A Collector's Guide 
(2014)

"…Probably the most significant book to have emerged recently from the gemology
world, but more importantly it transcends that genre to delight a far wider
audience."

Elise Skalwold, Rocks & Minerals Magazine




THE BOOK OF RUBY & SAPPHIRE
from an unpublished 1934 manuscript by J.F. Halford-Watkins
(2012)
