-Read/ Subscribe to good Gemstone websites/Blogs that publish quality information periodically. The key is to contemplate on one subject at a time rather than all information together. It is important to understand the 4c’s of cut, colour, clarity and carat weight almost on a Regular basis.
I suggest you browse the Gemstoneuniverse Blog and read the Gemologist’s notes for shipped out pieces. It is a huge database built over 2 decades and you have the advantage of evaluating the 4c’s with pictures and videos.
-Read classic Books such as Ruby and Sapphire by Richard Hughes and Secrets of the Gem Trade by Richard Wise. For Emeralds try to get hold of Ron Ringsrud Book.
Most importantly work with a reputable Jeweller, Gemstone Buying/ Trading House or a reputed Gemologist who works with Gemstones on a daily basis. This will be the most invaluable part of your training as daily you will practice and handle several samples.
There is no better education and training than this and no amount of education can be a substitute of this practical training.
