Zbirka eseja Džordža Frederika Kunca o predanjima, simbolici i mističnim verovanjima vezanim za drago kamenje. Kunc opisuje običaje i predstave o kamenovima rođenja, talismanima, gatanju kristalom i astrološkim ili planetarnim vezama. Vredi je slušati zbog širokog uvida u kulturnu istoriju, gemologiju i značenja koja su ljudi davali draguljima.
