From the crown of the monarch, where precious stones rival one another in glory, to the trinket of the untrained savage the same theme embraces all human kind in the pomp and array of its vanities and vainglory. Be it tinsel or gem, the rainbowed glint of the diamond, the sanguine glow of the ruby, the stillness of the sapphire, the restfulness of the emerald, or the peaceful pearl, even these have caught the rhythmic vibration of nature and decked themselves with her gala colors to perpetuate the annals of kingdom and crown.
