What reading level is Gems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Opal symbolizes hope, innocence, purity.
Pliny says the opal was sometimes called Paedorus, signifying youthful love. The pseudo Orpheus, writing two centuries before Christ, seems to indicate something similar: With its complexion of a lovely boy, The opal fills the hearts of gods with joy; Whilst by the mild effulgence of its light, Its healing power restores the failing sight.
The most interesting opal reaching the market at the present time is the Australian. Of this the first recorded "fin...d, " in Queens- land, was in 1890. The miners there, as well as in New South Wales, work with difficulty, the long-continued droughts taking the heart out of men and killing horses. Yet in the first fifteen years the value of the annual output increased from $15, 000 to more than a million, not counting sales which cannot be followed. The world seems to be depending for its choicer mineral products on this distant land more and more.
Hydrophane, which assumes transparency only when soaked in water, is a singular variety of opal.
