About the Author
Gavin
Linsell is an Australian gemstone writer based
in Chanthaburi, Thailand, an international
centre for coloured gemstones. He has travelled
extensively to gem markets and mining centres in
Asia and Africa.
Despite popular misconception, Gavin holds a
bachelor of science, but he is not a gemmologist.
His experience is in the buying, selling and
marketing of gemstones. Gavin is a member of the
ICA (International Coloured Gemstone
Association), an organisation whose members
include the top gemstone miners, cutters and
dealers throughout the world. The Clever
Gem Buyer is Gavin's second book.
Gavin lives in Chanthaburi with his wife Natasha
and their four dogs. |
