Sinkankas 5333. Edition originale.
"An excellent, largely descriptive and non-technical work on gemstones which for many years enjoyed top position among French language gemological treatises. Despite its age, it still proves to be rewarding reading and one that is recommended as a permanent reference. (...) the vigorous, handsome wood engravings are excellent and depict mining scenes, snow crystals, the famous cave of smoky quartz crystals found in the Swiss Alp near Tiefengletscher in 1867, jewelry, engraved gems, etc." Cf. Sinkankas.
Très bon exemplaire de ce classique
