{"product_id":"from-satans-crown-to-the-diane-morgan-9780275991234","title":"From Satan's Crown to the Holy Grail: Emeralds in Myth, Magic, and History","description":"Morgan discusses the origin of the emerald, its peculiar structure, and its strange allure. The story weaves across several continents and thousands of years. It is a tale of conquistadors, treachery, shipwrecks, and alchemy. Along the way, we meet scientists and kings and bear witness as the great emeralds are born, mined, smuggled, cut, and sold. The book also discusses the modern art of making synthetic emeralds. From the fastnesses of Afghanistan to the steamy jungles of Colombia and Zimbabwe, from the sands of Egypt to the bitter Urals, this is the story of a stone whose strange journey reflects the yearnings, greed, passions, and longing for beauty of the human race.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diane Morgan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275991237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275991234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.48h x 6.50w x 0.99d","brand":"Diane Morgan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44598224126207,"sku":"9780275991234","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ff659730-a52f-488f-8a0d-ff0ed2a75ff3.jpg?v=1702381294","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-satans-crown-to-the-diane-morgan-9780275991234","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
