That will contain usage information along with extensive grading charts that will correlate the World of Color selections with the GemGuide pricing 1-10 grading scale. Now you can more accurately describe, grade, and price all colored gems.
The samples shown here are not true color; they are only to give an idea of what the pages will look like. The overlay page is a transparent sheet that will name the color for the user. The supplemental book contains the grading numbers.
