It is An account of how gemstones and other treasures have influenced History. Raden retells history like a storyteller and interjects scientific information on everything from molecular structure of emeralds to how pearls are cultured to how Fabrege perfected his famous enameled eggs. The book is so balanced that you can digest a lot of information and stay engaged. You never feel like you are wading through a textbook.
