The Diamond: Stone of Destiny

Here are tales of historical diamonds, of intrigue, of fortunes won and lost, of the old Mogul and Persian conquerors, of the glittering courts of France and Tsarist Russia. But the surprise in the story is the diamond fields of Australia, the romance of the Inverell diamond fields where for years rough diamonds were washed away by the tin miners as worthless pebbles. The story of the diamond industry in Australia is brought up to date, showing its supreme value as an industrial stone in this modern age.
