The Chemistry, Properties and Tests of Precious Stones

The Chemistry, Properties and Tests of Precious Stones

This handbook will prove useful, not only to the expert and to those requiring certain technical information, but also to the general public, whose interest in this entrancing subject may be simply that of pleasure in the purchase, possession, or collection of precious stones, or even in the mere examination of them through the plate-glass of a jeweller's window. Topics covered includes: The Origin of Precious Stones, Physical Properties— Crystalline Structure, Colour, Hardness, Specific Gravity, Magnetic and Electric Influences, The Cutting of Precious Stones, Imitations, and Some of the Tests of Precious Stones, Various Precious Stones.

Laboratory exercises in applied chemistry

Laboratory exercises in applied chemistry

Laboratory manuals and the like generally contain little more than mere descriptions of technical methods of analysis, and explanations of the underlying chemical principles or of their applications are seldom attempted. It is evident that such books can be of very little help to students. The mechanism of the reactions involved in analytical methods is by no means so clear that explanation is unnecessary, since a student usually begins technical analysis at a comparatively early stage in his course. This book is a solution for all these difficulties.The author, as lecturer in the Darmstadt Technical School, knows from his long experience that it is just the emphasis laid upon the technical application of an analysis which deepens the student's knowledge and understanding of chemical processes.
