Ingramcontent Amateur Gemstone Faceting Volume 1: The Essentials

A fantastic primer to the world of faceting. Takes a lot of the mystery out of the whole process. The book is an absolute bargain compared to about everything else needed to get into faceting stones. Its very well written - very informative, but best of all - its not a dry textbook - its candid and entertaining.Highest recommendation for beginners (like me). Buy/read this book before you spend money buying a faceting machine or any of the other items which you need to get started.

THICK BOOK. A lot of information. Very well illustrated.

Great info for newbie and pro

I've just started cutting gemstones and I've been finding it hard to find comprehensive information for the beginner. Lots of chat sites assume a pre-existing basic level of knowledge. This book takes you in great detail, step by step, from workshop set-up to your finished stone. And the writer is just so darn funny and encouraging, you feel like he is right there with you. I give this book my full recommendation - I feel very grateful it exists! Thank you Tom Herbst!

In diesen beiden Büchern steht alles drin, was der Anfänger wissen muss. Aber auch fortgeschrittene und erfahrene Schleifer finden ergänzende Informationen. Leider, wie so oft mit in die Tiefe gehenden Informationen, nur in Englisch zu haben. Preis / Leistung vollkommen in Ordnung
