The Super Book of Gems

The book that turns birthdays into a geology lesson — and makes everyone glad it did. Super Smalls' The Super Book of Gems travels through all twelve birthstones month by month, pairing ancient legends and mystical lore with real gemology — the Mohs Hardness Scale, the Four C's, and dazzling photography from the archives of Cartier, Bulgari, and Van Cleef & Arpels. Written for curious kids and the adults who read alongside them.
