EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "Precious Stones," is an exquisite visual representation of various precious stones and minerals from Dr. Adolph Kenngott's Mineralogy section in Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert's Natural History publication. The illustration, published in Munich in 1886, showcases a stunning collection of precious stones, including agate, onyx, opal, and sardonyx. Agate, a type of chalcedony, is depicted in various forms such as fortification agate, cloudy agate, and chrysoprase. Fortification agate displays concentric layers of chalcedony in intricate patterns that resemble the walls of a fortress, while cloudy agate features white, translucent bands interspersed with opaque, milky layers. Chrysoprase, a green variety of chalcedony, is prized for its beautiful apple-green color. Onyx, a type of chalcedony banded agate, is shown in the illustration with its characteristic alternating bands of black and white. The opal section features a variety of opals, including wood opal, which displays a wood grain pattern, and fulgurites, which form when a lightning strike heats and melts silica-rich sand, creating tubular or spherical structures. Lastly, sardonyx, a type of banded agate with alternating bands of sard and agate, is also showcased in the illustration. This stunning representation of precious stones and minerals not only highlights their unique beauty but also serves as a testament to the scientific advancements of the late 19th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this chromolithograph continue to captivate viewers and inspire awe over a century later.
