Fire and Blood: Rubies in Myth, Magic, and History
Diane Morgan
The ruby is the world's most precious and rare stone. For the ancient Hindus, the ruby was Rajnapura: the Gem of Gems, at whose heart surges an eternal, unquenchable flame. She discusses the great stones and great heists of the ruby world—and the famous fakes, too—the great Black Prince and renowned Timur.
