Download or read book The Book of Ruby and Sapphire written by J. F. Halford-Watkins and published by . This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior to the 1930s, ruby and sapphire were mysteries, arcane gems oft-confused with spinel and other look-alikes. Enter Col. J.F. Halford-Watkins. Living in Mogok, Burma for more than two decades, he penned several articles and an entire monograph on the subject of these rare gems. Sadly he passed away before it could be published. In 1994, Richard Hughes came across a reference to the manuscript. Patrick Streeter, grandson of G. Skelton Streeter, and great grandson of the famed London jeweler, Edwin Streeter, had mentioned the Halford-Watkins manuscript while writing his book, Streeter of Bond Street. Following up on that obscure reference Richard Hughes stumbled upon something truly fantastic, an undiscovered treasure of the gemological literature. Over ten years in the making, The Book of Ruby & Sapphire is the realization of Halford-Watkins' vision. Professionally edited and illustrated, it represents a gemological tour de force.
