Colour of Paradise: The Emerald in the Age of Gunpowder Empires
Kris Lane
Among the magnificent gems and jewels left behind by the great Islamic empires, emeralds stand out for their size and prominence. This title presents the story of trade and also of transformations - how members of profoundly different societies at opposite ends of the globe assigned value to a few thousand pounds of imperfectly shiny green rocks.
