The colorfully illustrated fairy tale book for young and old contains 18 sparkling stone fairy tales from amethyst to zircon - wondrous and fantastic stories from and about the extraordinary powers of the stones.
A fairy tale book for big and small readers, for treasure hunters and stargazers. Each fairy tale contains - as so often - a piece of truth, a clue to the origin or the properties of the gemstones, whose magic neither children nor adults can escape. 18 stones, all of which also have a special meaning as healing stones, form the basis of the tales: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Rock Crystal, Amber, Cinnabarite, Diamond, Hawk's Eye, Tiger's Eye, Garnet, Lapis Lazuli, Larimar, Olivine, Opal, Rose Quartz, Ruby and Sapphire, Emerald, Sun and Moonstone, Tourmaline and Zircon.
The author Birgit Damer is a trained goldsmith and gemstone expert. Hädecke-Verlag has already published two highly acclaimed books on chocolate and oysters. In the meantime, Birgit Damer gives numerous lectures on minerals. On one of her travels she met the illustrator Carole Isler. With her as illustrator, the gemstone tales took shape.
