Description: THE BOOK OF TALISMANS, AMULETS & ZODIACAL GEMS. by William Thomas & Kate Pavitt. Wilshire Book Company. US. 1974. First published in 1914. Paperback. 292 pages. It’s 8.25” x 5.25” x 0.75”. 12.2 oz. In Very Good condition. Some wear to covers. Pages are clean and attached to spine; no markings, stains, tears, etc. Please, check photos. This is a study of the symbolism of precious stones, and how they have been used as magical objects through the ages, both intrinsically, and as a vehicle for symbolic engravings. The Pavitts cover Hindu, Jewish, Chinese, Egyptian, Roman, Gnostic, and Christian lore of gems. The final section discusses the astrological connections of key gems, sign by sign. This work also includes quite a bit of history of important (and often 'cursed') stones such as the Hope diamond, and practical advice about purchasing gems. Anyone interested in the symbolism of gemstones will find this a great reference and a fascinating read.--J.B. Hare - Free shipping anywhere in the USA. - I do ship International.
