Gem and Stone

 

Macro photography is like a private investigator, revealing everything we take for granted or never knew about an object. Jen Altman’s Gem and Stone: Jewels of Earth, Sea, and Sky does just that with 50 different gems, from diamonds to petrified wood. The stones’ chemical makeups, metaphysical properties, and associated folklore accompanies each and every one. My coffee table just put this book on its’ Christmas list.

    So cool! Adding it to my wish list as well. I still have a few favorites left over from my childhood rock collection. Can’t seem to let them go!
