The Book of Dianmonds

The Book of Diamonds introduces the reader to the world of fascinating gems. Have you heard the Arthurian legend, the romance of the stone? In this case the stone is the diamond. The history of diamonds is thoroughly covered but there isn't a boring word in this book. I recommend to anyone who is interested in the subject of diamonds and that includes gemologists and those who love bling.
