Subject(s): Abstract: 'This now classic study gathers in a single volume centuries of lore about the occult and healing properties of the rarer stones and nobler metals. It represents the essence of the age-old belief that such gems acted as the focus for cosmic energies that could influence a person's soul and physical body. Fernie traces the history of these concepts from widespread useof amulets in the ancient East to the complex investigations and formulations of scholars of much more recent vintage.'
