a new Gemological magazine has born in Italy!!
Several articles are from former contributors of the Rivista Gemmologica Italiana which is not longer published. We are trying hard to keep updated the local gemmo community, hope we can make it!
among the articles a VERY nice one by Marco Voltolini aka Maialetto
the cover photo is a healed fissure in a cobalt diffused natural spinel by me.
Unfortunately only available in italian language.....enjoy!!
