Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Monographie du Diamant
C'est en réalité une substance merveilleuse, devant laquelle les métaux les plus précieux ne sont que corps bruts. C'est le cristal qui réunit au plus haut degré toutes les qualités qu'on cherche dans les gemmes; c'est le plus dur, le plus simple, le plus incorruptible, le plus beau, le plus éclatant des minéraux.
Talisman invincible, substance mystérieuse, incomparable, indestructible pour les anciens.
