"Arash Khazeni offers a history that pushes beyond boundaries of time, space, and method. We move from geological time to the nineteenth century, from Iran to New Mexico, and from cultural to environmental history. This book represents a seminal contribution to the history of commodities and the best of the future of Middle East Studies."Alan Mikhail, author of The Animal in Ottoman Egypt "Khazeni manages that rare feat of combining the methodological finesse of a relatively new historical framework--world history--with an entirely new set of source materials, Persian ‘jewel books, ’ which supply entry into the world of cultural meanings attached to turquoises. The scholarship is impeccable, it sets a new standard for thinking about the Middle East as part of a larger Eurasian world."Nile Green, editor of Global Muslims in the Age of Steam and Print
