Publisher's Synopsis
This book introduces many kinds of stones. Here, no matter they are ugly or beautiful, and no matter whether they are cheap or expensive, the mysteries of their life experiences will be revealed one by one. From basalt born in volcanic eruptions to lazily sleeping sandstone, from shining beautiful rubies to trace fossils imprinted with water waves hundreds of millions of years ago, they are all part of the natural heritage of the earth. They are inextricably linked with everything on the earth and with us human beings.
