2 Antique 19thC Ceylon Ruby Ancient Celtic Magic Amulet Gemstones
Two Antique 19th Century Genuine Natural Good Quality Marquise Faceted Ruby Precious Gemstones from Ceylon. ORIGIN: Ceylon. 19th Century. SIZE: Length: 5mm. Width: 2 1/2mm. Measurements approximate. WEIGHT: 0.24 Carats(the pair) NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: Ruby was worn by the ancient Mediterranean civilizations as an amulet for protection from plagues. Poison, sorrow, and evil spirits. Both the Greeks and Indo-Europeans(Celts) believed that the“heat” evidenced by the intense, red color was fire from within the gemstone, capable of boiling water or melting wax. Here are two very nice quality 19th century antique hand faceted marquise cut ruby precious gemstones from Ceylon(present day Sri Lanka) Both are relatively eye clean, of higher value character ... moreas opposed to lower value translucent rubies. Of course most ruby gemstones are anywhere from lightly to heavily blemished. Most completely transparent rubies you see offered today at retail are synthetic. While this particular pair might not be absolutely flawless, to casual scrutiny they are at least near eye clean, and are definitely at the higher end of the quality spectrum. At magnification(such as these 5x images here) they are seen to possess a modest number of very faint blemishes composed of colorless crystalline material. Nonetheless, they both possess the much sought after bright blood red color which has captivated mankind for eons. To the trained eye the photo enlargements will literally shout that the gemstones have been hand-faceted. The coarseness of the 19th century faceting is considered appealing to most gemstone collectors, and is not considered a detriment. Unlike today's computer controlled machinery, the cut and finish of a gemstone such as this is the legacy of an artisan who lived two centuries ago. Such antique hand-faceted gemstones possess much greater character and appeal than today's mass-produced machine-faceted gemstones. These gemsto

Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: Most ancient Mediterranean cultures. Including the ancient Romans, Greeks, Persians and Celts believed that amethyst would protect against becoming intoxicated, and would protect soldiers from harm in battle. Ancient legends attribute the Amethyst's lovely color to the Greek God Bacchus(the god of wine) Here's a very large, very clean, 19th century faceted amethyst from the Devonian lava beds found along the coast of Angus Country, Scotland. This gemstone has been ... morehand faceted in a fashion forerunner to and very similar to the popular contemporary"trilliant" or"trillion" cut. It is a quite beautiful cut, a faceted three-sided pyramid with a softly rounded base. Very popular in 18th and 19th century Victorian Scotland, amethyst has remained a very popular gemstone through the 20th century. This is a very fine lavender colored semi-precious gemstone. As you can see from the photo enlargements here, it is to the eye completely transparent and free from inclusions, and possesses exceptional sparkle and luster. It is very clean, water clear, and very bright. The trained eye will easily discern from the photo that the gemstone has been hand-faceted.

Earring, or pendant(click for more information) DETAIL: Ancient cultures including the Celts. Greeks, Hebrews, Persians and Romans highly valued garnet. To the Anglo-Saxons, garnet was a cherished treasure. According to historical accounts, the King of Saxony is said to have owned a garnet of over 465 carats. Most ancient Mediterranean populations believed that a garnet could give its wearer guidance in the night, allowing them to see when others could not. Garnet was also worn for protection when traveling, as garnet was believed ... moreto warn the wearer of approaching danger. Here is a gorgeously colored bright forest green tsavorite precious gemstone which has been cut into a faceted pear. The gemstone was hand crafted and faceted by a Russian artisan, part of a centuries-old heritage renown for the production of the elaborate gemstones and jewelry of the Czars of Medieval, Renaissance, and Victorian Russia. This is a nice quality specimen no less than eye clean. Tsavorite, also known as grossular garnet, is one of the worlds rarest and most sought after precious gemstones. It was first discovered in Tanzania in 1967 in the shadow of Mt. Kilimanjaro, though it was not until 1971 that the first specimens were extracted from nearby Kenya. The name is derived from the adjoining Tsavo National Park famous for its mighty"red" elephants who wallow in and spray themselves with red iron-rich mud during the rainy seasons. The park is also well known for its man-eating lions. Under magnification the gemstone shows the unmistakable characteristics of having been hand crafted. The coarseness of the handcrafted finish is considered appealing to most gemstone collectors. And is not considered a detriment, or to

Magic Stone of Egypt’s Sun God Ra Ancient Greek Amulet Ring
Antique Genuine Natural Russian Two-Third Carat Faceted Vivid. Regal Green Topaz Heart. Contemporary High Quality Sterling Silver Ring(Size 6– Resizing Available) ORIGIN: The Ural Mountains.

Topaz powdered and drunk in wine was believed to cure asthma. Insomnia, burns and hemorrhages. Here’s a magnificent, sparkling, vibrantly hued green topaz semi-precious gemstone from the Ural Mountains of Russia. Gorgeous and vividly hued, this striking ... moresemi-precious gemstone is of very high quality and possesses breathtaking luster. It has been hand cut into a sparkling, brilliant, faceted heart cut semi-precious gemstone with lots of flash and depth. As you can see, this is an exceptionally good quality gemstone. Certainly to the eye it is nothing less than perfect, it is truly a beautiful, sumptuous, and regal-sized semi-precious gemstone. Though green topaz occurs naturally in Siberia. It generally tends to be a bit lighter in shade than is the case with this specimen. So I suspect that it’s likely(though not certain) that it was heat-treated. The gemstone was hand crafted and faceted by a Russian artisan, part of a centuries-long heritage renown for the production of the elaborate gemstones and jewelry of the Czars of Medieval, Renaissance, and Victorian Russia. Under magnification the gemstone shows the unmistakable characteristics of having been hand crafted.

Ancient Celts Iberia Bosnia Czech Turkey Religion War Law Art Language Culture
The Ancient Celts by Barry Cunliffe. DESCRIPTION: Hardback with Dust Jacket: 324 pages. Publisher: Oxford University Press; 1997) ISBN: 0198150105. Published at $55.00] For two and a half thousand years the Celts have continued to fascinate those who have come into contact with them. Yet their origins have remained a mystery and even today are the subject of heated debate among historians and archaeologists. In this erudite and engaging illustrated history, Professor Cunliffe explores the archaeological reality of these bold warriors and skilled craftsmen of barbarian Europe who inspired fear in the Greeks and Romans. He investigates the texts of the classical writers and contrasts their view of the Celts with current archaeological findings. Tracing the emergence of chiefdoms and the fifth-to third-century migrations as far as Bosnia and ... morethe Czech Republic and into Turkey. He assesses the disparity between the traditional and contemporary information on the Celts. Other aspects of Celtic identity, such as the cultural diversity of the tribes, their social and religious systems, their art, language and law, are also examined. From the picture that emerges, Professor Cunliffe is able to distinguish between the original Celts and tribes which were subjected to'Celtization' thus giving us a new insight into the true identity of this ancient people. CONDITION: Book appears to have been read only to page 17. Where there is(unfortunately) a very large"dog-eared" corner.

2 Antique 19thC ¾ct Tourmaline Ancient Gem of Rainbows
Two Exquisite. Antique, Nineteenth Century Briolette Cut Hand Faceted Genuine Natural Siberian Three-Quarter Carat Green“Chrome” Tourmaline Semi-Precious Gemstones. Mounted into contemporary high quality 14kt French hooks. CLASSIFICATION: Briolette Cut Green Siberian Tourmaline. ORIGIN: Ural Mountains of Russia. 19th Century. SIZE: Length: 6mm. Diameter: 5mm. WEIGHT: 1.74 carats(the pair) NOTES: Other setting styles(euro clicks. Lever backs, kidney wires, ball/stud dangles) are available upon request, both in 14kt solid gold and in 14kt gold fill. DETAIL: In ancient mythology. Tourmaline was found in all colors because it traveled along a rainbow and gathered all the rainbow's colors. In fact the name tourmaline comes from the Dutch traders who purchased gemstones from the Celanese(i.e. Ceylon or Sri Lanka) The word"turmali, meant"mixed" ... moreand the bright rainbow collections of gemstone varieties which the Dutch purchased were called"turmali" parcels. Here are two exquisitely colored, antique hand faceted green(chrome) tourmaline briolette cut semi-precious gemstones from the Ural Mountains of Russia. Though the country best known for green tourmaline is Tanzania(and to some extent, Brazil) the Ural Mountains of Russia have been producing green chrome tourmaline for centuries. In fact, many of the Russian crown jewels are tourmaline. In the Victorian Age tourmaline was enormously popular not only in Russia, but throughout 18th and 19th century Europe. These particular gemstones were hand cut and faceted into somewhat coarse briolettes, an old fashioned cut reflecting their heritage. Land of the fabled jewelry of the Czars, Russia was renowned for its production of elaborate(and costly) jewelry throughout Victorian Europe. Chrome tourmaline is rather uncommon, probably the rarest of the ordinary varieties of tourmaline. There is substantially more demand than supply. So thus oftentimes can be quite costly. It is called“Chrome” Tourmaline because it is traces of chromium which gives the ge

21ct Handcrafted Ametrine Gem of Spanish Conquistador Ancient Persia Camel Route
HUGE Twenty-One and One-Half Carat Russian Handcrafted Checkerboard Faceted Marquise Cut Genuine Natural Ametrine Semi-Precious Gemstone. CLASSIFICATION: Handcrafted Marquise Cut Checkerboard Faceted Ametrine. GEMSTONE ORIGIN: Bolivia’s Anahi Mine. Handcrafted in or near Yekaterinburg(Siberia) Russia. SIZE: Length: 27 1/2mm. Width: 15mm. Depth: 10 3/4mm. All measurements approximate. WEIGHT: 21.57 carats. NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: Though Ametrine was known in the ancient world(the ancient source for ametrine was likely India via camel caravan through Persia) It first became famous in the modern world in the seventeenth century when a Spanish conquistador received it as a dowry when he married a South American Indian princess. Ametrine was subsequently ... moreintroduced to Europe through the conquistador's gifts to the Spanish queen. You can think of Ametrine as a gemstone quality quartz crystal which when growing up could not decide whether it wanted to be an Amethyst or a Citrine, and so developed a“split personality” This is a very large, very clean, handcrafted checkerboard faceted marquise cut ametrine semi-precious gemstone from the Anahi Mine in Bolivia. Exported to Russia for use in indigenous jewelry, the gemstone was hand crafted and faceted by a Russian artisan, part of a centuries-long heritage renown for the production of the elaborate gemstones and jewelry of the Czars of Medieval, Renaissance, and Victorian Russia. Ametrine is actually very rare in nature, having both the manganese traces which produce amethyst’s purple, as well as the iron traces which produce citrine’s yellow. The crystals must then be exposed to a variable source of heat, such as might be the case when a crystal partly encased in rock is exposed on one surface to sun shine. Slowly a portion of the gemstone will change color from amethyst’s purple to citrine’s yellow. This occurs rather rarely in nature. It seems that the ancient Mediter

Each volume undertakes to describe the major events that happened in one specific time period in the development of mankind’s civilization(s) The volumes are richly illustrated. And designed as an introduction to the time frame covered. Especially compelling are the artists interpretations or recreations of what various ancient civilizations would have looked like– their architecture, homes, monuments, cities, daily life, jewelry, food, family life, dwellings, occupations, etc. As just one instance, the ruins of Babylon and Ur, Athens and Rome hint at the incredible richness of those fabled cities.

"Beyond Stonehenge" Ancient Astronomy Wisdom Science Nazca Machu Picchu Karnak
Beyond Stonehenge by Gerald S. Hawkins. DESCRIPTION: Hardback with Dust Jacket: 319 pages. Publisher: Harper& Row. Publishers; 1973) Gerald Hawkins. Author of“Stonehenge Decoded” and“Splendor in the Sky” here explores many intriguing facets of the wisdom of ancient man. First he tells about the astro-archaeological work done at Stonehenge itself, that eighth wonder of the ancient world. Stonehenge is an architectural gem, awesome, haunting, strangely beautiful. On the day of a summer solstice, his group took pictures of the rising sun over the heel stone. Hawkins considers just what it is that makes a civilization. Again he goes to make a study of enormous ancient drawings in the Peruvian desert, those vast linear Nazca lines which can be appreciated only from the air. Yet their makers could not have seen them from the air. How and why ... morewere they made? Hawkins and his associates made measurements and calculations. But came to the conclusion that they are not oriented toward sun, moon, or stars. Their mystery remains unsolved; gigantic lizard, spider, flower, monkey. The author explores Machu Picchu and its temple. He reviews Heyerdahl’s theory of Kon-Tiki and the passage to the Pacific islands from the west coast of South America. Hawkins then explores the activities of the American Indian mound builders. Some of those works are oriented toward the sun. He looks at Mayan ruins in Central America. Hawkins makes astro-surveys of the temples of the Nile. The Great Temple of Karnak, the Temple of Amon-Ra, where the pharaoh made his sun observations, and other temples. Hawkins’ assumption is that anything which shows today as clearly astronomical was known in antiquity to the builders. He offers perceptive speculations on how much longer our civilization will continue, and digs into many legends and myths concerned with the ancient civilizations which still have reference in the modern world. Illustrated with 60 photographs and 49 line drawings. CONDITION: Pages are clean. Crisp, unmarked(except for owner's nam

Ancient Celtic lucky Charm C.620-480 B.C.
he lands occupied by Celtic peoples. Whose existence can be traced over more than 25 centuries, were vast. Celts occupied land in modern day Eastern Europe, Greece, Spain, Northern Italy, Western Europe, England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The Celtic people have mystified anthropologists and historians for generations. They were a non literate culture whose history and literature was preserved through oral tradition. The only written records of their civilization are the texts left by classical authors, the first of which appear circa 500 BCE. These accounts, inaccurate as they may be, are important in that they demonstrate that the Celts came into cultural contact, and sometimes competition, with the Greeks as well as the Romans.

Extremely popular in 18th and 19th century Scotland, amethyst retained its popularity through the 20th century. Handcrafted and shaped in the 18th century, this large and colorful amethyst comes from the Devonian lava beds near the coast of Angus County, Scotland. Much finer than the images here suggest, it is a lovely cabochon oval cut, gorgeous, vibrant and richly hued, the pride of a 18th century Russian artisan. A nice quality gemstone in its times, it is more or less transparent but by no means flawless. Though generous in size, it is not a high quality amethyst by today's standards, though it is historically significant. Purple has always been associated with royalty and amethyst is no exception. It was popular with all of Europe's royalty during Renaissance and Victorian times. When seen under magnification. The coarseness of the finish of this 18th century amethyst tells us that it is obviously hand crafted. Rather than detracting from its value or allure, this is considered appealing to most collectors, who consider examples like this to be more desirable than today’s computer-controlled machine-produced gemstones.

With his great gift for making the scholarly accessible, he discusses their mysterious origins and early history, and describes their rich and complex society. Includes bibliographical references(p. 227-228) and index. CONDITION: Unblemished except very light edge and corner shelfwear and very light rubbing to dustjacket(the jacket is photo-finish ... morehigh-gloss black and so show rub marks very easily. Even merely from being shelved between other books) The shelfwear to the dustjacket DOES however include a two inch closed(neatly mended) edge tear at the lower edge of the front side of the dustjacket, near the spine heel. Beneath the dustjacket the covers show modest edge and corner shelfwear which includes light bumps to the bottom corner of both the front and back cover(the bumps are so light however that they are not transmitted through to the pages within) Large, heavy books like this tend to get dragged across and bumped into book shelves as they are shelved and re-shelved, so it is not uncommon to see accelerated edge and corner shelfwear to both the dustjacket and covers of such huge, heavy books) Pages are pristine; clean, crisp, unmarked, unmutilated, and tightly bound and unambiguously unread. Condition is entirely consistent with new stock from an open-shelf book store(such as Barnes& Noble, for instance) wherein patrons are permitted to browse open stock, and so otherwise"new" books often have become slightly blemished and/or show a little handling/shelf/browsing wear.

Ireland, land of ancient warriors who value nothing higher than fame and courage as they battle magical forces pitted against them. Ancient warriors whose deeds are as noble and mysterious as the hill forts and standing stones scattered around the landscape. Ancient warriors whose love of exaggeration and boasting compare with the most extravagant blarney. These are the Celts ... morerevealed by the early Irish chronicles. Wales. A land of bands and druids hemmed into a beautiful, mountainous country where King Arthur roamed with his knights. The Welsh warriors saw themselves as defenders of the west, heroes who would one day hurl the foreign oppressors back into the sea. These dramatic chronicles date back to the Middle Ages, but they are truly much older than that. They tell of love and betrayal, of quests and challenges, of supernatural creatures and of murder. Battling dragons. Tyrants, and sorcerers, the warriors of Brittany were people of the sea. Hermits, missionaries, mystics, they passed down their tales of mystery and magic orally through the centuries. They are captured here from a time when the old pagan days were dying out, and the secret, supernatural skeins of the early mystical Celts were quickly attaching themselves to a new religion. CONDITION: Dust Jacket. Light shelf wear to the cover, otherwise in New, never read condition. PLEASE SEE IMAGES BELOW FOR SAMPLE PAGES FROM INSIDE OF BOOK. PLEASE SEE PUBLISHER. PROFESSIONAL, AND READER REVIEWS BELOW. PUBLISHER REVIEW: REVIEW: The civilization of the Celts once stretched over much of Euro

Ancient Celtic Ritual Bronze Sickle
Ancient Celtic Ritual Bronze Sickle Search Cast bronze Celtic ritual sickle with a beautiful dark green patina. The Roman author Pliny the Elder described the Celtic ritual gathering of mistletoe which was found growing on an oak tree. A Druid. Dressed in white, cut the mistletoe using a sickle and allowed it to fall on to a white piece of cloth. This ritual took place on the 6th night after the new moon. From this account, we see that the Druids held some importance to the color white, and used a sickle. We prefer white robes for our clergy in ritual and have adopted the sickle for our use.

Ancient European Bronze Age Winged Flanged Axe / Ax
This is one of the largest. Most beautiful, Middle Bronze Age axes we have seen in recent times. A beautiful copper alloy winged, flanged axe, dating to approximately 1400 B.C. The patination on this large Axe is exquisite- a brilliant turquoise patina. The Axe is of usual Bronze Age form. With curved blade edge and large wing like flanges. Unusually, the axe is notched at the back, where presumably the rope would have slotted in, maintaining the axe firmly in place. In antiquity. A wooden handle would have inserted snugly under the winged flanges, and would have been held in place by a thick rope. The piece was originally cast from a two-part mold. And hammered into shape- hammer marks are still visible on the body due to the exceptional preservation of the surface. Axes such as this would have been used to clear the forests of Early Europe ... morefor human habitation. They could also be used in battle and for religious purposes. As dedications. Indeed, these axes are often found in hoards throughout central Europe, where they are believed to have served a votive function. Length: 7 1/8 inches Width: 2 3/8 inches. Condition: Exceptional condition. Unrestored. Provenance: Ex. English private collection. Originally acquired on the German market in Munich, approximately 30 years ago.

Ancient Celtic Bronze Bell Shaped Bead Pendant C.620-480 B.C.
The lands occupied by Celtic peoples. Whose existence can be traced over more than 25 centuries, were vast. Celts occupied land in modern day Eastern Europe. Greece. Spain. Northern Italy, Western Europe. England. Wales. Scotland and Ireland. The Celtic people have mystified anthropologists and historians for generations. They were a non literate culture whose history and literature was preserved through oral tradition. The only written records of their civilization are the texts left by classical authors. The first of which appear circa 500 BCE. These accounts, inaccurate as they may be, are important in that they demonstrate that the Celts came into cultural contact, and sometimes competition, with the Greeks as well as the Romans. This is an ancient Bronze bell shaped charm or pendant from an incomplete necklace. It is bronze and measures.83”21.2mm)222-3)

Celtic Gaul Ancient Forgery Roman Denarius Emperor Severus Money Goddess Moneta
A Celtic Forgery from Gaul of the Silver Roman Denarius of Emperor Septimius Severus with a Reverse Theme Depicting the Roman Goddess of the Roman Mint“Moneta” 194 A.D. OBVERSE INSCRIPTION: IMP CAE L SEPT SEV PERT AVG COS II. OBVERSE DEPICTION: The head of Septimius Severus. Right, laureate crown(laurel wreath) REVERSE INSCRIPTION: MONET AVG. REVERSE DEPICTION: The Goddess Moneta. Enrobed, standing left, holding balance(weight) scales and cornucopiae. ATTRIBUTION: An ancient forgery probably struck by Celtic Gauls after the year 200 A.D. the original issue was struck in 194 A.D. The Latin is badly butchered and the depictions of Emperor Septimius Severus and of Moneta are both a bit off. But clearly recognizable. Ancient no doubt.but a forgery(forged money was common in ancient Rome is at is not too uncommon in our contemporary world) SIZE/MEASUREMENTS: ... moreDiameter: 16 x 15 1/2 millimeters. Weight: 2.09 grams. NOTE: Coin is mounted free of charge into your choice of pendant settings(shown in sterling silver pendant) And includes a sterling silver chain in your choice of 16" 18" or 20" length, details below or click) For a more authentic touch. We also have available handcrafted Greek black leather cords. We can reverse coin in mounting if you prefer opposite side showing front. DETAIL: This is a very handsome silver denarius which is an ancient forgery. Most likely struck in Gaul. It is a crude copy of a denarius which was originally struck in 194 A.D. in Emesa, Syria, a city very significant in the personal history of the Emperor Septimius Severus, who was depicted on the front of both the original coin as well as the forgery. It is in relatively good condition, a crude imitation of course, with only part legends(misspelled of course) and the depiction on the reverse of the Goddess Moneta also crude. But despite all of this, the coin is quite significant historically, one could argue even more significant than one of the original, legitimately struck specimens, and far, far more rare. Th
