Famous Diamonds

The form, size and color of a number of these diamonds are recorded in models which are displayed in Higinbotham Hall of the Museum. This leaflet is devoted to a brief history and description of these. It may be remarked in advance that much that is legendary is contained in the accounts of the older diamonds, and it can hardly be deemed possible always to separate the traditional from the true. In such cases the would-be historian can do little more than to record some of the dfferent legends.

Gems and Precious Stones by Henry G. Smith

This compilation of notes on ”Gems and Precious Stones,” written by Henry G. Smith, originally appeared in the ”New South Wales Educational Gazette,” at intervals from August, 1892, to May, 1894.

The notes were primarily intended for the use of Public School Teachers, whose stations were as widespread as the Colony itself at the time of publication, in the hope that they would form the basis of object lessons, and also lead to discoveries of precious stones.

ALCD has cleaned the copy up to make it more readable and added some pictures.
