| Summary | "The Magic and Science of Jewels and Stones" by Isidore Kozminsky is a scientific publication likely written in the early 20th century. The book explores the intricate relationship between gemstones and their historical, magical, and scientific significance. It delves into both ancient beliefs surrounding stones as talismans and modern understandings of their properties, suggesting a blend of esoteric knowledge and scientific inquiry. At the start of the book, Kozminsky introduces his intention to merge ancient philosophies about precious stones with contemporary scientific insights. He references historical practices and beliefs regarding the mystical properties attributed to stones, such as their connections to astrology and metaphysical influences. The opening chapters discuss the earliest studies of gems, their classifications, and the belief systems that govern their use in talismanic magic. In essence, this foundational section sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of how stones have been perceived throughout history and their enduring allure in both scientific and mystical realms.
