by George Frederick Kunz (Author)
This vintage book is a detailed treatise on the healing and "magical" properties of stones, gems, crystals, and jewellery. "The Magic Of Jewels And Charms" will appeal to those with an interest in contemporary ideas of crystal healing and gemmology, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage literature of this ilk. Contents include: "Magic Stones and Electric Gems", "On Meteorites, or Celestial Stones", "Stones of Healing", "On the Virtues of Fabulous Stones, Concretions and Fossils", "Snake Stones and Bezoars", "Angels and Ministers of Grace", "On the Religious Use of Various Stones", "Amulets: Ancient, Medieval, and Oriental", "Amulets of Primitive Peoples and of Modern Times", and "Fact and Fancies about Precious Stones". Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction. First published in 1915.
