Spanning almost five millennia, this book tells a new history of premodern architecture through the material of precious stone.

Lavishly illustrated examples include the synthetic gems used to simulate Sumerian and Egyptian heavens; the marble temples and mansions of Greece and Rome; the painted palaces and polychrome marble chapels of early modern Italy; and the revival in 19th-century England.
