User:Wiener Edelstein Zentrum

My name is Thomas Pfneisl. I am a gemmologist (1986 Diploma of the Gemmological Association of Great Britain) and a wholesale trader of coloured gems since 1985. I am authoring a gemstone dictionary (work in progress) for our company's website. Besides giving the hard scientific data, we strongly emphasize the practical aspects, relevant to all those working with gemstones. You will also find a lot of "soft" information, like which stones a particular gem can be confused with, the origin of its name, myths & legends and miscellaneous things, we think are worth knowing. Several times a year i publish articles concerning new gem discoveries, market trends etc. I herewith invite all Wikipedia authors to freely use our texts. Should you need gem photos, please contact me. The photos on our website are too small and too strongly compressed for Wikipedia use. I will gladly upload larger pics. --Wiener Edelstein Zentrum (talk) 05:51, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
