Unearth the enchanting world of gemstones and discover the stories behind Earth's most brilliant treasures!

What secrets lie hidden within a shimmering amethyst? Which legendary gems have adorned crowns and royal collections for centuries? How do seemingly ordinary rocks transform into breathtaking jewels?

An Anthology of Gems invites young readers on a thrilling journey through the world of precious stones – from deep red rubies and ocean-blue sapphires to opalescent moonstones and sparkling emeralds. Uncover the secrets behind every stone’s sparkle – how it forms beneath the earth’s surface and is enriched by the myths and meaning that make it timeless. Filled with vibrant photographs, detailed illustrations, and engaging text, this book is perfect for budding gemologists, history buffs, and anyone who dreams of discovering hidden treasures.

Dr Anthea Lacchia is a writer, geologist, and science communicator with a PhD in palaeontology. She is the author of DK's Planet Earth (2026), and regularly contributes to DK's science and nature books for children and adults.
