"This is one of the most enjoyable books on gemstones I have read, as it combines history with the very interesting travels of Victoria on her search for the gemstones, and the behind the scenes stories with persons who actually mine the stones, and live in the areas visited. I enjoyed her interview with Len Cram from Lightning Ridge very much, and her search for the location of where her own sapphire ring originated. I could not put the book down until I had finished it, which took all night. I was sorry I did that, I should have savored it. Very well written, and as a plus, it was autographed by the author. Well worth the money for this book."
