H. Marshall. Description: A stunning full color 1963 Geologic Map of the Letronne Region of the Moon by the U.S. Geological Survey. Letronne is a lava-flooded remnant of a lunar crater which forms a bay along the southwestern shore of the Oceanus Procellarum. Or Ocean of Storms, as the northern part of its rim is completely missing. The map shows the large crater Gassendi, the flooded crater Billy, and the smaller crater Flamsteed. A wrinkle ridge traverses the floor from north to south, and further wrinkles outline a portion of the missing rim. This region is named after the French archaeologist, Jean Antoine Letronne(1787-1848 A.D. who translated important works from ancient Egypt. It is believed that most of the moon’s craters were formed approximately 3.9 billion years ago, during a period of intense bombardment in the Inner Solar System. The cratering rate fluctuates as collisions in the asteroid belt send fragment clusters into the Inner Solar System. This map might show hypervelocity impact craters caused by the same cluster of asteroids that, 65 million years ago, caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. As humans wouldn't land on the moon until 1969, how were we able to map its geology? The map’s extraordinarily detailed metadata explains that the cartographers used photos, and observations from optical and radio telescopes, with relief created by measuring shadows, combined with an assumed sun angle and an assumed base elevation. The geology was arrived at from observing differences in, and layering of, topographical forms, and in varying albedo(amount of reflected sunlight) both of which indicate different underlying materials formed under different processes. Goals of this work included the identification of suitable moon landing locations, and sources of oxygen for possible in establishing a more permanent lunar base. The map also

Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: In the medieval world Saturn was known as the Roman God of agriculture. Justice and strength. Roman depictions of Saturn generally showed the god with a sickle in his left hand and a bundle of wheat in his right. Many archaeo-linguists believe that the name sapphire is derived from its association with the planet and ancient deity Saturn(the name can be roughly translated to mean“dear to Saturn” in many different languages) In ancient Rome Saturn was a major god presiding over agriculture and the harvest time. His reign was depicted as a Golden Age of abundance and peace by many Roman authors, a mythical age when Saturn was said to have ruled. In remembrance and celebration of that age, a great(week-long) feast called Saturnalia was held throughout the Roman Empire during the winter months around the time of the winter solstice. It is thought that the festivals of Saturnalia and Lupercalia were the roots of the carnival(Mardi Gras" in the USA) Here's a gorgeous. Vibrantly colored natural red-orange-pink sapphire precious gemstone from the Southern Ural Mountains of Siberia, Russia. The gemstone was hand crafted and faceted by a 19th century Russian artisan, part of an heritage renown for the production of the elaborate gemstones and jewelry of the Czars of Medieval, Renaissance, and Victorian Russia.

In Brittany(France) these crystals were worn as a talisman. Local folklore held that the gemstones had dropped from the heavens. If a“lapis crucifer” talisman was worn suspended from the neck, it was thought to cure almost any kind of fever, and the divine symbol it bore served to drive away evil spirits from the vicinity of the wearer.

DETAIL: In the ancient world red spinel was also known as a“Balas Ruby” And was mined in Northwest Afghanistan and Tajikistan, and traded throughout China and Europe. Although history does not document the mining of spinel in Afghanistan until about 750 A.D. it is likely the source for the spinel of the Romans and the rest of the classical Mediterranean. Marco Polo mentioned the famous“Badakhshan” mine which produced this gemstone, describing the gemstone as“Balas Ruby” The name for Badakhshan in the ancient world was“Balascia” from which the name“Balas Ruby” was born. Though spinel is presently less expensive than ruby, it is many times more rare. And despite all of the confusion in Europe over what was spinel and what was ruby, in Burma where both gemstones have been mined for many centuries, spinel was recognized as a separate gem species as early as 1587 A.D.

Sir Thomas Malory's unique and splendid version of the Arthurian legend tells an immortal story of love, adventure, chivalry, treachery, and death. The legends of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table have inspired some of the greatest works of literature; from Cervantes's Don Quixote to Tennyson's Idylls of the King. Although many versions exist, Malory's stands as the classic rendition. Malory wrote the book while in Newgate Prison during the last three years of his life; it was published some fourteen years later, in 1485 A.D. by William Caxton. The tales, steeped in the magic of Merlin, the powerful cords of the chivalric code, and the age-old dramas of love and death, resound across the centuries. CONDITION: New. Never read. PLEASE SEE IMAGES BELOW FOR SAMPLE PAGES FROM INSIDE OF BOOK. PLEASE SEE PUBLISHER. PROFESSIONAL, AND READER REVIEWS BELOW. PUBLISHER REVIEW: REVIEW: An immortal story of love. Adventure, chivalry, treachery, and death. Edited and first published by William Caxton in 1485, Le Morte d'Arthur" is Sir Thomas Mallory's unique and splendid version of the Arthurian legend. Mordred's treason, the knightly exploits of Tristan, Lancelot's fatally divided loyalties and his love for Gueneviere, the quest for the Holy Grail; all the elements are there woven into a wonderful completeness by the magic of his prose style. The result is not only one of the most readable accounts of the knights of the Round Table, but also one of the most moving. As the story advances toward the inevitable tragedy of Arthur's death, the effect is cumulative, rising with an impending sense of doom and tragedy towards its shattering finale.

One of history’s most famous gemstones is a spinel known as the Black Prince's“Ruby” a magnificent 170-carat red spinel that currently adorns the Imperial State Crown in the British Crown Jewels.

The gemstone was given to England’s Edward the Black Prince, heir to the British throne, in return for military service putting down an insurrection raised against Pedro the Cruel. King Henry V then wore the gemstone on his battle helmet during the battle of Azincourt in 1415 A.D.
