Why is GT Pro such a bargain? Because GT Pro has more information and functionality than any book. If you were to buy a book with half of the listings and photographs in the Gemstone Database you would pay at least $75 for it. You would pay at least $95 for a book with all of our inclusion photographs. It would cost you about $60 for a book of gem and diamond weight estimation formulas BUT the book won't automatically do the calculations for you! So, in a best case scenario you would have to pay around $230 (possibly MUCH more) for these three books. This is about $160 MORE than GT Pro) for less information and functionality. And, if you ever go on the road you might need to lug all those books around. Not to mention that you get SO much more with GT Pro. Like the Pearl Grader, the NAJA Diamond Cut Grader, the Custom Piece Calculator, the Round Diamond Recut Planner, the measurement unit converter, the gem and jewelry glossary, the gemology review module, the weight estimation charts and even more. All your necessary gemology data in one spot. Fast, easy and inexpensive!
