Excerpt: ...in contact with substances containing copper, and which has absorbed a sufficient quantity of them to colour the entire mass with a cerulean hue more or less deep. ENGRAVING UPON THE TURQUOISE. The low degree of hardness possessed by the turquoise probably deterred the ancients from often engraving on this stone, or, it may be, these specimens of antiquity have not been sufficiently durable to reach our time. In either case, there are very few engraved turquoises known. Caire, however, cites a few. In the Genevosio collection there is an amulet, convex on one side and flat on the other, showing upon one side an engraving of a veiled Diana holding two branches in her hands, upon the other a sort of sistrum, a star, and a bee: Greek letters are inscribed upon both faces.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Diamonds and Precious Stones: A Popular Account of Gems; Containing Their History, Their Distinctive Properties, and a Description of the Most Famous Gems; Gem Cutting and Engraving, and the Artifical Production of Real and of Counterfeit Gems In addition to the strictly scientific information to be given regarding precious stones, there are connected with them a great many facts not less interesting, and equally important for the public to know. T 0 these we have devoted several sections of the following work. In our times precious stones are, used almost ex elusively for the purpose of ornament, but in former times the case was very different. By reference to the authors of antiquity, as well as to those of the middle ages and the Renaissance, we have shown the important part that they then played, and what ideas prevailed regarding them.
