EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, dating back to circa 1870, showcases a stunning collection of various precious stones. The image features an intricately arranged display of 14 exquisite gems, each showcasing its unique beauty and allure. Beginning from the upper left, we find the first stone, a Ruby, known for its deep red color and rarity. Next to it is an Emerald, with its vibrant green hue and distinctive luster. Moving down the row, we encounter a Garnet, with its rich red-brown color and vitreous luster. The fourth stone, Lapis Lazuli, is a deep blue metamorphic rock, prized for its beautiful azure hue and golden pyrite flecks. The fifth and sixth stones are Turquoise and Diamond, respectively. Turquoise is a mineral known for its distinctive blue-green color and opaque to translucent appearance. A Diamond, on the other hand, is the hardest naturally occurring substance on Earth, renowned for its brilliant sparkle and exceptional hardness. The seventh and eighth stones are Gold and Silver, not technically gems but precious metals often used in jewelry settings. Gold, a malleable and ductile metal, has been valued for its luster and resistance to corrosion for centuries. Silver, with its lustrous white color and high conductivity, has been used for both decorative and practical purposes. The tenth and eleventh stones are Topaz and Sapphire. Topaz is a silicate mineral that comes in various colors, but the most prized is the golden-yellow Imperial Topaz. Sapphire, a variety of corundum, is known for its blue color, but it comes in various hues, including pink, yellow, and green. The twelfth stone is Amethyst, a purple variety of quartz, and the thirteenth is Opal, a hydrated silica mineral known for its iridescence and play of color. Lastly, the fourteenth stone is Agate, a chalcedony variety of quartz, with bands of various colors and textures.
