Stone of Destiny

by Ion L. Idriess

Angus and Robertson, 1953, lightly illustrated with black and white illustrations, black and white photographic frontispiece, hardcover

“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.”
