The journal publishes scientific and educational articles, and provides a forum for the discussion of issues concerning gemmologists worldwide. Until now, those without a specific reference who wished to find information published in The Canadian Gemmologist had to look at the Winter issue for each year. The Canadian Gemmologist contains a wealth of information on many gemmological topics. The Index will convert the significant information contained in the journal into a valuable reference tool and a convenient resource for researchers. Members of the Canadian Gemmological Association have received one free copy as a special membership benefit in celebration of the completion of 20 volumes of The Canadian Gemmologist, and to mark the year 2000.
Copies are now available for sale to subscribers, libraries, institutions and others.
Please order from the CGA office.
