PhotoAtlas Series
Any gemological library is hardly complete without the PhotoAtlas series. These books are unique in their scope and without parallel in their content. They represent a huge body of work and background of unrivaled expertise. By following the links below one may buy directly from the Koivulas, thus assuring they receive the full proceeds which support the continued availability of this amazing resource.

With the conclusion of his PhotoAtlas series heralded by the long awaited Volume 3 which made its debut at the 2008 European Gemmological Symposium, John now begins work on a book of a quite different gemological subject, one which is sure to find its unique place in the libraries of all serious gemologists and mineralogists.
John Koivula, microWorld of Gems microWorld of Gems:

Kristi Koivula and microWorld of Gems brings you the work of her renowned gemologist and photomicrographer husband. While the books are an indispensable reference and a delight to the gemologist, mineralogist, collector or student, they readily transcend those bounds. One can't help but be moved by the stunning beauty of internal scenes captured by his lens.

Along with being able to order signed books by the author, mWG also offers giclée prints of many of John's extraordinary images.
