Very beautiful Book.

Breathtaking. I wish these videos were much longer.

Thank you - very well presented with clear explanations. The Lapis Lazuli is a fascinating colour in itself. When it finally became available in England in the middle ages, it made such an impact, and became so desirable, that, ounce for ounce, it became more valuable than gold !!!!!!
Alas, the video - far too short, far too short.

The title should be the painted page and its colour as in the video.
