About The Author
George Frederick Kunz
George Frederick Kunz (1856-1932) was a prominent American gemologist who was responsible for many advances in the gem and mineral world, including identifying a new colour of spodumene that was named kunzite in his honour. He heavily influenced New York jeweller Charles Lewis Tiffany to produce his first semi-precious green tourmaline line of jewellery for his company Tiffany & Co. From the age of 24, and for the remainder of his life, Kunz served as gemstone expert for the iconic New York jeweller. His classic work, The Curious Lore of Precious Stones, remains a must-read work for anyone interested in the beauty and mythology of precious gems.
