Synopsis
People have been fascinated by crystals and gemstones since prehistory, using them for currency or decoration, and symbols of status or love. Crystals & Gems explores the science of precious and semiprecious stones, explains their more intriguing and intangible qualities, and profiles the world's most famous and infamous jewels-from the 1.404 carat Star of Adam sapphire to the "cursed" Hope Diamond., Discover the history of precious, semi-precious, and organic gemstones, their scientific properties, their mythical powers, and their traditional uses. Humans have been beguiled and fascinated by gemstones and crystals since prehistory, and made use of them for everything from currency and ceremonial decoration to tokens of love or power. But why have some been considered more significant than others - rare or otherwise? Learn all about the key characteristics of precious and semi-precious stones, and discover the science behind some of their more unusual and mysterious properties, and the various ways in which they have taken on powerful symbolic meanings. How did the Vikings use iolite to help them steer their ships, for example? Why did the Ancient Greeks and Romans believe that sardonyx could protect them in battle? Dive deep into the pages of this curated crystal book to discover: - A quirky and compelling angle on the subject of crystals and gems - combining science with culture and history. - Definitions for the key properties of precious, semi-precious, and organic stones, clearly and simply. - Explores their traditional uses in healing and manifesting, and the powers they have been ascribed through the centuries. Encounter the fascinating stories of some of the most famous or celebrated gemstones and jewels along the way - from a turquoise-studded pectoral worn during Aztec ceremonies, to the diamond necklace that helped to bring about the French Revolution - in this glorious celebration of precious, semi-precious, and organic stones in all their beauty and variety.

- a***l (151)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Último añoCompra verificadaExcellent! Retrostar Music is a very fair seller - they gave me a 5% discount on top of an already great price! They also communicated the status of my order quite frequently. The CD I ordered came in a box with plenty of wrapping paper to ensure it would not get beaten up in shipping. Usually sellers just send CDs in envelopes, so I was pleasantly surprised when this arrived in a box. The CD itself is in perfect condition. A+ experience! I would highly recommend this seller!I Can Only Imagine - The Very Best of MercyMe Audio CD (#276364397907)
