Place reservation for Treasures of the Earth : rocks, minerals, crystals, and gemsWhat treasures could be lying under your feet? From dazzling gems to beautiful buildings, this book is filled with rocks and minerals, each one with a tale to tell. What gem was more precious than gold to Chinese emperors? Who suffered the curse of the Hope Diamond? And why did Burmese soldiers insert rubies under their skin before battle? 'Treasures of the Earth' is a tale of our fascination with precious things - how they were made, how we have used them, and how their legends grow with each year that passes.
