Download or read book Antique Gems and Rings Vol 2 written by C. W. King and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Antique Gems and Rings, Vol. 2: Illustrations Aztec Lapidary Skill - A very common ornament in the Ometepec (nicaragua) graves is a string of beads, sometimes of chalcedony, and sometimes of lava. The piercing of the latter is wonderful. Many of the beads are an inch in length, ringed all over, and pierced with a hole as fine as ordinary thread. The whole head is no thicker than twine, and most brittle. Had we not seen such wonders before, we never could have deemed such fine work possible without tools of metal. The chalcedony beads are very much larger; they are handsomely rounded and polished, and the hole is carefully bored. Ten to fifteen formed a necklace or bracelet, from which we may conclude, either that they were only worn by children, or else that feathers or other perishable ornaments were interspersed.

Aztec Sculpture, executed without metal tools - Boyle found upon Mount Mombacho, near Grenada, many monumental portrait statues, life-size, executed with great fidelity to nature, and carved out of basalt, a material which, even in the ancient world, was only attempted by the Egyptians.

This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Precious Stones and Antique Gems I have been induced to compile, for the benefit of amateurs and collectors of antique gems, a concise account of precious stones and antique gems; those usually called hard or fine stones, and also of some other stones and substances which cannot be comprised under the head of precious stones, but are frequently used in jewellery, and for ornamental and glyptic purposes. In this compilation I have frequently adopted the words of the best authorities, Dana, Bristow, Mr. Maskelyne, and others. In the second part I have noticed the principal precious stones, and other substances employed for glyptic purposes, known to the ancients, and described by ancient writers, and have attempted an identification of them with those known to mineralogists of the present day, in which I am much indebted to the writings of Mr. King and Mr. Maskelyne.
