Book Synopsis The Tourmaline by : Friedrich Benesch
Download or read book The Tourmaline written by Friedrich Benesch and published by Verlag Urachhaus. This book was released on 2003 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The qualities of the mysterious tourmaline are unique in the mineral realm. Fourteen years went into creating this volume, including visits to scientific collections all over Europe. Phenomena gave way to outer experience, which led to inner experience and insight; the natural object gave way to natural being. A miracle of nature, the tourmaline is a precious stone, having perhaps the greatest range of figuration and coloring of any gem. The importance of this book is in its lavish illustrations and far-reaching cognitive treatment of the tourmaline. At its heart are approximately 400 color photographs by some of the best photographers. The concluding text takes a Goethean view, explaining how tourmalines came to be invested with such a panoply of meanings, which remained unacknowledged for centuries. This is a book your family will treasure for many generations.

Download or read book The Tourmaline Group written by Richard Dietrich and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-11-16 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tourmaline group minerals have graced the cabinets of mineral collectors and museums for untold generations. Their colors and color patterns, along with their diverse shapes and associations, have assured their role as exqui site showpieces. Their workability and durability have, in addition, made them favorites among connoisseurs of colored gemstones. Tourmalines, however, are much more than exquisite showpieces and beautiful gemstones. Their diverse crystal forms and unique structure, their variable chemical compositions, their intriguing physical properties, and their widespread occurrence in nearly all kinds of rocks have long attracted the attention of scientists from several disciplines. Furthermore, they have several potential uses in science and industry. From an historical standpoint: Tourmaline is possibly the "Lyngurium" -green at one end, light colored at the other-that Theophrastus (ca.315 B.C.) described in On Stones, the first known book about minerals. Tourma line is one of the minerals thought to have been used as a "sunstone" navigation compass by Vikings during the eighth, ninth, and tenth centuries.

Download or read book Tourmaline written by Randolph Stow and published by University of Queensland Press(Australia). This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tourmaline is an isolated Western Australian mining town - a place of heat and dust, as allegorical as it is real. Out of the desert staggers a young diviner, Michael Random, offering salvation to this parched town. The once comatose community is indeed stirred to life, by hate as much as by love, and its people find salvation neither in water nor gold. 'With its richly textured sense of place, and its story hovering like a desert mirage between the real and the surreal, Tourmaline is Stow's most profound meditation on the confused spiritual heritage of Europeans living in Australia. Tourmaline is the ship of the Australian soul, isolated in an inland desert, and Stow has explored it with a visionary intensity more common in the Russian than in the Australian or the English novel But the spare, arid, harsh and yet living desert is unmistakably Australian, and the narrative it contains compels by its very strangeness and the stark truth of its insight.' - Anthony J. Hasasll 'Stow's is an intense and extraordinary talent.' - Spectator
