Book Reviews of Opals (Fred Ward Gem Book)

Book Review: A great beginner book for understanding opal
Summary: 5 Stars

An easy read. Finished the book in a couple of hours. Covers all facets of the opal trade. Explains the different methods of manufacture. How to spot lab created specimens, doublets and triplets. This book gave me a true appreciation for opal and the delicacies in working with it. I will purchase further books from Mr Ward. If you want easy, informative reading on gemstones, Fred Ward should be your source.
