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.

Smith; Harold & Erica Van Pelt; Carl Bento; Steve Bird; Leo Boner; Zbynek Burival; Michael Bush; Len Cram; Klaus Eiserhardt; Bob Farrar; Bruce Paul Gaber; Max Glas And Others (illustratore). 1st Edition. Precious opal is a rainbow made tangible. Its spectral blaze of color moves, changes, intensifies, fades, or disappears with the slightest change of perspective. Opal's intriguing play of color and unique atomic arrangement have made it the subject of scientific probing from early optics in the 1850s to a high-tech photonics today. Equally challenging has been discovering opal's place in history. Opal, both precious and common, is found in disparate environments from the unbearable heat of the Australian outback to the higher elevations of the Canadian Rockies, from a centuries-old site in Slovakia to a number of little-known places in the American west. A natural, wearable stone with magical depth, movement, and color, opal is a truly phenomenal gemstone.
