Tales of Jewels and Precious Metals

By: Jeanette Howeth Crumpler

The Diamond - The Holocaust Diamonds -This is a powerful story based on truth, but names and locales are changed. No one had heard of these diamonds and where they ended up. Exceptionally intriguing and tragic and the ending is interesting. The Sapphire - The Peacocks Eye Quite a saga about a Rajah and one of his many concubines. She has a great fascination with the Peacocks Eye Star Sapphire, steals it, goes on a remarkable journey and the ending is shocking. The Ruby - The Dragon Ruby of Rajah Binoor Most interesting story of the ruby, where it was found, who found it and what happened to it. The ending is delightful. The Amber Trapped in Time A personal story of mine and what I found in a piece of amber. Absolutely fascinating and lovely. A really good fairy tale. The Emerald The Emperors Egg The Emperors Egg belonged to one of the great Emperors of Peru. Where and how it was found and the mystery surrounding its disappearance. Full of adventure and strange customs. The Pearl Spat Tells His Tale Spat, the oyster, tells a wonderful tale about himself and his great pearl. The Opal Black Beauty and Muggereedoo This was the actual story about how one of my teachers in grade school had a beautiful black opal ring. Where it came from and the exciting story of what happened to it makes a charming story. Silver Wandor the Dragon A true story my grandmother told me about the lovely silver dragon centerpiece that was on their dining room table during the Civil War and how her family brought it to Texas from Tennessee, what became of it, and how they survived. Most interesting history and strong characters. Gold A Murder Unsolved The true story of my grandfather and how his death happened in Ely, Nevada in 1907 during the gold strike there. A really good story of the times and circumstances. The Meteorite Star Jewel from the Universe A truly fascinating story of this rock from outer space, its journey, where it landed (near the Great Wall of China), the Chinese family that found it and the luck it brought them, and how I came to have it.
