GO 340 Gemstones and Gemology

Emporia State University

Students in the gemstone course were assigned a presentation, which for some was web-based. The webpage topic was a student decision, with the only requirement that it be related to gemstones or gemology. The webpages are submitted for a grade and then edited, not to change the student's content, but to enhance spelling and referencing. The pages are creative and informative, and are placed online for your inspection! Simply choose a semester to find a specific person or visit a topic of interest from the tables below.
