The Color Atlas of Stones In Glass describes 39 stones, accompanied by more than 300 original color photographs, images and spectra. The Color Atlas is printed on high quality photo paper and is over 120 pages, hardbound. Detailed identification tips, compositions, causes and sources are given for each stone, as well as its physical and crystalline characteristics.

The Stone Atlas is intended to facilitate identification of the most common glass stones across the four major glass industries: container, tableware, flat glass and fiberglass. This volume focuses on the practical assistance with the identification of stones through color photographs. Furnace operators, quality control engineers or filling line incoming inspectors will obtain the most use from this guide, as they are responsible for the day to day monitoring of glass quality.
