Arkenstone

Arkenstone "It was a globe with a thousand facets; it shone like silver in the firelight, like water in the sun, like snow under the stars, like rain upon the Moon!"

The long history of gemstones and their use is lost in the mists of time. Our oldest ancestors sought all sorts of stones, because of their solidity and hardness, to make tools and weapons for everyday life. At the beginning of the Neolithic period, men could already distinguish between certain sparkling, or richly colored stones, to which they attributed supernatural powers. These powers could be

enhanced by engraving the stones with magical signs. By the end of prehistoric times, such stones had become the first medium of exchange between the desert nomads and the settled farming communities. Valued for their magical properties, rather than their beauty, these gems were not articles of luxury but everyday necessities
