What treasures could be lying under your feet?From dazzling gems to beautiful buildings, this book is filled with rocks and minerals, each one with a tale to tell. What gem was more precious than gold to Chinese emperors? Who suffered the curse of the Hope Diamond? And why did Burmese soldiers insert rubies under their skin before battle?. With colourful photography of rocks and artefacts, and gorgeous illustrations to bring the stories to life, this book will delight young readers. Treasures of the Earth is a tale of our fascination with precious things - how they were made, how we have used them, and how their legends grow with each year that passes. Packed with stunning visuals, gems of geological information, and stories from cultures all around the world, this book is a must-have for budding rockhounds and curious collectors alike.
