As New As New English Original binding with original dust wrapper. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). [xvii], 429 p. Color ills. Mint. Asked to name the most valuable stone in the world, most of us would think of diamonds, rubies - possibly emeralds. But there is something far more precious buried deep in the bedrock of the remotest mine in the world, a valley in the shadow of the Himalayas. Imperial Jade Green has been famed in the East for a thousand years, eulogized by the Chinese as the color of the kingfisher's neck feathers, the only thing on earth that was said to match its astonishing green hue. By the end of the 18th century, Europe could barely contain its curiosity and explorers were dispatched to a 'barbaric land', forced to negotiate with the Lord of Mines, a King who they reported 'shone like the sun'. But they all returned empty handed, bearing only stolen glimpses of a smoking thicket that 'rang with wild incantations'. It would be another 100 years before Imperial Jade Green traveled to the west, and when it did, it left behind a trail of rubble and misery.
