* Books are available for your Gemology Distance Education eLearning courses, but are not required for successful completion. Upon confirmation of your enrollment (when you receive your
user name and password), books may be purchased online by logging on to my.GIA.edu. Various S&H options are available. Additional S&H charges apply to Distance Education students
outside the United States.
** Due to continuously changing customs regulations beyond GIA’s control, it may not be possible to ship Gem Identification stone sets to various international locations. Customs regulations may
also extend the time it takes GIA to deliver international stone sets to students.
*** If you don’t have access to the instruments needed to complete this course, listed on page 74, you can purchase a Gem Identification Instruments Student Package through store.GIA.edu for an
estimated retail price of $2,500.00 (S&H and tax are not included) Additional S&H charges apply to students outside the United States. As an alternative, you can complete your assignments in
a fully equipped GIA Student Workroom.
