The Book of Gems by Fran Wilde Pdf

“A glittering tale of academic jealousy and ancient artifacts, The Book of Gems is a pulse-pounding adventure.” —Katherine Addison, author of The Goblin Emperor Some truths are shatterproof... It’s been centuries since the Jeweled Valley and its magical gems were destroyed. In the republics that rose from its ashes, scientists craft synthetic jewels to heat homes, power gadgetry, and wage war. Dr. Devina Brunai is one of these scientists. She also is the only person who believes true gems still exist. The recent unearthing of the Palace of Gems gives her the perfect opportunity to find them and prove her naysayers wrong. Her chance is snatched away at the last moment when her mentor steals her research and wins the trip for himself. Soon, his messages from the field transform into bizarre ramblings about a book, a Prince, and an enemy borne of the dark. Now Dev must enter the Valley, find her mentor, and save her research before they, like gems, become relics of a time long forgotten.

The Book of Gems by Dr Nataraja Sarma Pdf

Gems have fascinated men and women since the beginning of time. Once worn for simple adornment, they soon attained supernatural status because of their colour, brilliance and rarity. Gemstones have been valued for their widely believed therapeutic and medicinal values and their association with astrology. The book investigates all these connections and describes the properties of diamonds, various other mineral and organis gemstones, and their location on earth. It provides simple methods to identify and select a good gem and also describes the results of the author's research on gem enhancement, particularly diamonds, rubies and sapphires.

GEMS FROM THE BOOK OF MORMON by Cornelius Hyzer Pdf

What significant Christian doctrines does the Book of Mormon teach? Gems from the past light a path to the future in Christ the Lord. For example: The Gospel plan is to save families, God judges us for our use of agency but intervenes against the wicked, the atonement is infinite, the priesthood are "chosen vessels," and we must "take upon ourselves the name of Christ" at baptism. One great GEM is the witness of the Book of Mormon to the THREE DAYS and NIGHTS Jesus was in the tomb, confirmed in the Bible by the double Sabbaths (plural in Matt. 28:1). Also the prophesy found in Isaiah pertaining to Joseph Smith is clarified in the LXX. These are just a few of the GEMS found in the Book of Mormon!

Gemstones and Their Origins by P.C. Keller Pdf

Each gem deposit-whether of primary origin in the parent rocks; or secondary as alluvial placers in valley floors, river gravels, or the sand of oceanic shelves presents an eloquent chronicle of the Earth's life story. It reveals to the expert the prodigious processes which formed the present crust of our planet, of which this volume discloses a small but exciting detail. The materials of the Earth's crust are the rocks. In this book, the author expounds on how they were formed, why they altered, why they became the cradles of precious gemstones, how they are categorized, and how they are now exploited by man. What initiates the growth of gemstones? How do they crystallize? Why do gemstones of the same species, originating from different sources, vary? What causes the occurrence of varieties? Why do diamonds, unlike other precious stones, occur not near the Earth's surface in its crust, but deep down beneath it in the upper mantle? These are only a few of the entrancing subjects discussed in this enlightening volume. The reader learns that the Earth is surprisingly alive and altering constantly-sometimes through slow and equable changes and at times by violent and tremendous cataclysms, events from which gemstones issue.

Book of Mormon Gems by Sterling H. Redd, Sr. Pdf

Book of Mormon Gems provides a careful selection of the vast majority of outstanding principles, prophets and events throughout the great journeys contained in The Book of Mormon. Above each entry is a bolded and enlarged heading in italics which, as a Gem, gives the clear essence of the entry. This format gives the reader the option of reading just the Gem, or also the full underlying text of each entry. Each entry is meticulously documented, and includes in parenthesis who is speaking. The selection of well over two thousand entries in Book of Mormon Gems, is a modest attempt to gather completely from The Book of Mormon, the plain and precious truths and events revealed centuries ago to chosen prophets who were led to a promised land by the Power of God. What makes Book of Mormon Gems so valuable is that it presents the most important and sacred scriptural truths found in The Book of Mormon, without having to read as well the volumes of extra writing throughout the book.

Spiritual Gems of Islam by Imam Jamal Rahman Pdf

Refine your heart and mind with the wisdom of Islamic spirituality "To live a meaningful life—one that brings us joy, contentment and fulfillment—we have to do the inner spiritual work of becoming a more complete human being." —from the Introduction Over the centuries, Islamic sages have gleaned timeless spiritual insights and practices from sacred texts, meditation and knowledge of the heart—gems that have been passed down from generation to generation. This book invites you—no matter what your practice may be—to access the treasure chest of Islamic spirituality, particularly Sufism, and use its wealth to strengthen your own journey. The riches include guidance drawn from the Qur'an, sayings of the Prophet Muhammad and Sufi poets such as the thirteenth-century Rumi on cultivating awareness, intentionality and compassion for self and others. This book also features entertaining wisdom teaching stories, especially those of Mulla Nasruddin, Islam’s great comic foil, to expand the mind and heart. It breaks down barriers to accessing this ancient tradition for modern seekers by dispelling myths about the Muslim faith concerning gender bias, inclusivity and appreciation for diversity. Regardless of where you are on your spiritual journey, you will find these gems worthy additions to your own treasure chest within.
