Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook and Descriptive Catalogue of the Collections of Gems and Precious Stones in the United States National Museum In the annual report of the United States National Museum for 1900 (1902)there was published a descriptive catalogue of the collections of gems in the United States National Museum, as prepared by Mr. Wirt Tassin, then assistant curator in charge of the Division of Mineralogy, assisted by A. S. Eakle, subsequently professor of mineralogy in the University of California. As this catalogue has long been out of print, and as the collection has increased considerably since it appeared, a new edition has been decided upon. In this, however, a different method of treatment has been adopted, and the subject matter has been quite largely rewritten, so that it represents an essentially new work. In order that just credit may be given to all concerned it may be well to state that the preparation of the catalogue was begun in 1916 by Dr. Edgar T.Wherry, then assistant curator in chaise of the mineralogical collection. His resignation in 1917 caused a long delay, and meanwhile, during the occupancy of the building by the War Risk Bureau (October, 1917, to March, 1919), it was decided to entirely rearrange and recatalogue the collection which had been heretofore included with the general collection of minerals. This work, which involved as well the weighing and measuring of each individual stone, has been slow and laborious, but has been carried through in almost its entirety by Miss Margaret W. Moodey, the recorder for the department. In preparing the text so much of the edition of 1902 as was suitable has been retained (see particularly pp. 141-178), to which has been added the descriptive matter prepared by Doctor Wherry. Important additional matter is furnished in the accounts of the pegmatites and their associated minerals, that of southern California having been prepared by Dr. W. T. Schaller, for several years custodian of the collection. Other important additions are the references to the Gardner Williams collection of rocks from the diamond mines of South Africa, the list of gem names and the table for the identification of precious stones. In addition to portraits of the founder and benefactor of the collection, and two colored plates illustrating gems in the collection, there have been added a number of plates showing typical localities from which gems are mined.

Clarke prepared an exhibit of American precious stones as part of the United States National Museum's comtribution to the New Orleans exhibition, which was displayed at the Cincinnati exhibition in the following year before returning to Washington to be incorporated into the mineral collection of the museum. The great popularity of these collections is attested by the number of visitors, and their equally numerous queries, convinced the Museum authorities to extend the series and systematically build up the collection, slowly at first due to the expense involved, but enhanced by the magnanimity of a private individual.

National Museum: A Handbook and Catalogue It is interesting to note, in this connection, that during the business depression Of 1876 almost the entire product of the American quar ries was exported to England, where it sold for even less than the Welsh slates, though necessarily at very small profits. The return Of more prosperous times, however, created a local demand, and the export trade has proportionally decreased though considerable quantities are still sent to the West Indies, South America, England, Germany, and even New Zealand and Australia.

Download or read book The Smithsonian National Gem Collection—Unearthed written by Jeffrey Edward Post and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2021-03-23 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scandals, mysteries, and human stories behind the world’s greatest gems are brought to life by the curator of the Smithsonian’s National Gem Collection Dr. Jeffrey E. Post, curator of the National Gem Collection for more than 25 years, separates fact from fiction in an all-new and original book, revealing fresh information and regaling the reader with anecdotes and tales of some of the world’s greatest and most famous gemstones. Dr. Post is the author of the now out-of-print book The National Gem Collection (Abrams, 1997), which has sold more than 50,000 copies. In this brand-new book, he tells the stories of the Smithsonian’s most famous gems, including the Hope Diamond, Star of Asia Sapphire, Carmen Lucia Ruby, Hooker Emerald, and Blue Heart Diamond—and also presents the tales, details, and fascinating facts surrounding rarely displayed gems from the Smithsonian vault and additions made to the collection since 1997. Not only a resource for learning about rare and beautiful gems, the book also presents the stories of the people who once owned or were associated with these jewels—from ordinary people to kings, emperors, maharajas, celebrities, and captains of industry.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Precious Stones: Considered in Their Scientific and Artistic Relations, With a Catalogue of the Townshend Collection Since 1882, when the Handbook of Precious Stones was published, the volume has been several times reprinted from stereotype plates. Occasionally a few alterations and corrections were made in the text, but no opportunity occurred to improve the arrangement of the work Or to add fresh material. The present issue, however, represents a thoroughly revised edition. A large number of paragraphs have been wholly rewritten, while so many additions have been made to the accounts given of the difierent kinds of precious stones and other beauti ful minerals that the 112 pages of the original handbook have been increased to 140. Among the minerals which have now received fuller treatment may be named - diamond, sapphire and ruby, and the diflerent varieties of garnet and of zircon. But readers who desire to make themselves more intimately acquainted with the optical properties, the crystal-forms and intimate structure, the modes of occurrence and formation and the chemical composition and constitution of precious stones, will find it necessary to turn to works in which full details of these subjects are given. I n this connection may be named the treatises of Dana, of Professor Lew-is of Cambridge, Professor M askelyne and Professor M iers, for in the pages of the present handbook only such scientific considerations find place as can be easily grasped, and which, at the same time, held) to explain the beauty of precious stones and aflord methods of identifying the difierent kinds.
