Post, curator of the National Gem Collection for more than 25 years, separates fact from fiction in an all-new and original book, revealing fresh information and regaling the reader with anecdotes and tales of some of the world's greatest and most famous gemstones. Dr. Post is the author of the now out-of-print book The National Gem Collection (Abrams, 1997), which has sold more than 50,000 copies. In this brand-new book, he tells the stories of the Smithsonian's most famous gems, including the Hope Diamond, Star of Asia Sapphire, Carmen Lucia Ruby, Hooker Emerald, and Blue Heart Diamond--and also presents the tales, details, and fascinating facts surrounding rarely displayed gems from the Smithsonian vault and additions made to the collection since 1997. Not only a resource for learning about rare and beautiful gems, the book also presents the stories of the people who once owned or were associated with these jewels--from ordinary people to kings, emperors, maharajas, celebrities, and captains of industry."--Amazon. 610 20 $a Smithsonian Institution. 650 0 $a Gems $z Washington (D.C.) $v Catalogs. 610 27 $a Smithsonian Institution. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00532691 650 7 $a Gems. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939558 651 7 $a Washington (D.C.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204505 655 7 $a Catalogs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423692 655 7 $a Catalogs. $2 lcgft 710 2 $a Smithsonian Institution. 941 $a 3 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909064249.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20211005010627.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210518010627.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=618DD87CB79E11EB9196081C3CECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
