Vintage Lapidary Journal Magazine / Magazines - Jan. through Dec. of 1979 - For Gem Cutters, Gem Collectors & Jewelers top - Excellent Condition

The entirety of 1979's, "Lapidary Journal" magazines.
That's right, January through December!

These are in amazing condition! I'm pretty sure they were read once and then stored away.
Some of the magazines have a top fold on one of the corners of the cover or back and / or some light wear on the corners of a cover or back, but it's very minimal.
January has some damage to the spine. You can see this in picture #2.
These are mostly black and white with the some articles & the occasional advertisement in color.
