Carroll Global Insights Publications, 1994 Excellent I worked for Hughes during the time of the event described as his "kidnapping." At the time, the entire Staff on Romaine street was in a major uproar, ostensibly because of a "falling out" between Hughes and Noah Detrich. However, the behavior of some members of the staff subsequent to this event have convinced me that a great degree of truth is contained in Gemstone.             Gemstones of the World24 reviews Walter Schumann Sterling Pub Co Inc, 1977 Gemstones of the World A great travel guide for those buying/looking at gemstones, lots of visual id's...well worth price.             The Gemstone Healing Guide, A Healing Apothecary8 reviews Kristi Huggins lulu.com, 2009 Excellent crystal resource!
