This is a book for all those who facet stones and love gemstones in jewellery. This man Bernd is the personification of excellence....the Michaelangelo of the gem crystal.He took what other stone faceters call inclusions and turned them from a negative feature that detracts from the stones value to a positive feature that enhances and gives personality, value and historical context to the gemstone. In the age of synthetic gemstones Bernd Munsteiner has made inclusions the gem buyers friend and moved gems from jewellery to art gallery. A fantastic book for gemmologists, jewellers, faceters and all rock and crystal hounds. The book is well written with amazingly clear and accurate photos and good history of both Bernd and his talented artistic family.Buy this book.
