Summary

Aquamarine Creation explores the fascinating geological genesis of aquamarine, a captivating blue-green gemstone, by examining the Earth systems that contribute to its formation. It delves into the mineralogical composition of beryl, highlighting how trace elements, particularly iron, are crucial for aquamarine's distinctive color. The book emphasizes that aquamarine formation is a delicate interplay of specific geochemical conditions within particular geological settings, requiring the presence of beryllium, aluminum, silicon, oxygen, and those vital trace elements, all under precise temperature and pressure conditions.

 
The book presents a comprehensive, process-oriented explanation of aquamarine's creation, integrating geological, chemical, and physical perspectives. It begins by introducing beryl and its varieties, then analyzes the chemical composition required for aquamarine, and explores typical geological environments such as granitic pegmatites and hydrothermal veins.

 
By drawing on geological surveys, mineralogical analyses, and geochemical studies from aquamarine-producing regions worldwide, Aquamarine Creation provides a valuable resource for mineral collectors, gemologists, and anyone interested in Earth science and the origins of gemstones.

Scent - A Natural History of...

Elise Vernon Pearlstine

A fascinating exploration of the natural history of scent and human perceptions of fragrance from the viewpoint of plant and pollinator 
 
 
 
Plants have long harnessed the chemical characteristics of aromatic compounds to shape the world around them. Frankincense resin from the genus Boswellia seals injured tissues and protects trees from invading pathogens. Jasmine produces a molecule called linalool that attracts pollinating moths with its flowery scent. Tobacco uses a similarly sweet-smelling compound called benzyl acetone to attract pollinators. Only recently in the evolutionary history of plants, however, have humans learned to co-opt their fragrances to seduce, heal, protect, and alter moods themselves. 
 
 
  
In this wide-ranging and accessible new book, biologist-turned-perfumer Elise Vernon Pearlstine turns our human-centered perception of fragrance on its head and investigates plants' evolutionary reasons for creating aromatic molecules. Delving into themes of spirituality, wealth, power, addiction, royalty, fantasy, and more, Pearlstine uncovers the natural history of aromatic substances and their intersection with human culture and civilization.
