Beautiful book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I bought this book for research on the world's fabulous gems. I'm glad I did. The book just proves that man from early times onward has placed value on precious gemstones. The stories tell tales of greed, treachery, faith, and murder. A good starting place for those interested in gemstones and precious artifacts made of the rare minerals.
