Gem-Stones and Their Distinctive Characters (Classic Reprint) by George Frederick Herbert Smith PDF Summary

Book Description: Excerpt from Gem-Stones and Their Distinctive Characters Eauty, durability, and rarity: such are the three cardinal Virtues of a perfect gem-stone. Stones lacking any Of them cannot aspire to a high place in the ranks Of precious stones, although it does not necessarily follow that they are of no use for ornamental purposes. The case of pearl, which, though not properly included among gem-stones, being directly produced by living agency, yet holds an honoured place in jewellery, constitutes to some extent an exception, since its incontestable beauty atones for its comparative want Of durability.
