Used, minor scratches and dent on back cover, otherwise in great condition. Since antiquity, emeralds have been one of the most highly valued gemstones: the first known mines were those of Cleopatra in ancient Egypt. Two thousand years ago Pliny wrote, "emerald-green is the most beautiful green of all." Leading researchers offer insight into the many aspects of the world of emeralds covered in this book: what is an emerald? How does it form? Where are they found, namely Canada, Namibia and China, with the richest deposits in South Africa and Asia. Plus, etymology, history, legendary giants, local finds and more. A comprehensive look at this magnificent gemstone with exquisite photography.
