Unearthed: The Smithonian National Gem Collection - Surprising Stories Behind the Jewels - Paperback
Gems have followed humans and been a central part of our history for as long as we have existed. Now, the scandals, mysteries, and truths are revealed in the stories of the world's greatest gems - all brought to life by the curator of the Smithsonian's National Gem Collection. With a career spanning over 25 years that has granted him stunning insights and shocking stories, Dr. Jeffrey E. Post reveals fresh information while regaling readers with tales that separate fact from fiction. Not only is this a stunning resource for learning about the rare and beautiful gems of our history, but it also serves as a presentation of the stories of the people who became involved with these jewels - from ordinary people to the highest royalty - and how their stories still shape us to this day.(This title may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
