Learn the amazing (and sometimes magical) history of gemstones from around the world through the birthstones that represent each month of the year!
Gemstones are among Earth's rarest and most beautiful creations - history's preeminent symbols of wealth and power. They are valued because they are beautiful and rare, but also because their beauty is undiminished with time. The stone that once adorned a king or maharaja might today be set in a ring or necklace, and will continue to sparkle thousands of years from now.
What better way to teach young readers about gemstones than by focusing on the different birthstones that correspond to each month? Everyone (mostly) knows their birthstone - but do they know the full history of these stones? Where they were mined, how and why they were popular, or how to best harness a stone's energy to help deal with matters of friendship, family, and life?
Your Birthstone Book explores all of this and more!
