ISBN-13: 9781487503178, 978-1487503178. Why do people single out gold, sapphires, diamonds, and other minerals as particularly "precious"?. What makes precious minerals "precious"?. The editors draw from history, archaeology, and ethnography, and remind us that "preciousness" must always be understood in relation to complex cultural, political-economic, and semiotic systems of value.
