The Journal of Gemmology

 

The Journal is essential reading for anyone interested in gemmology and has a circulation that is worldwide. We are always seeking to publish original work and are happy to hear from potential contributors. Our standards are high but at the same time we try to be both readable and topical. The journal provides extensive coverage of abstracts and reviews of articles and books, and is enhanced by fine colour illustrations.
