The Bounty of Buddha by Richard Manin
When Buddha took pity on the poor of Ceylon he covered the country in a fine dew which was transformed into precious stones. While this is a lovely legend the island indeed possesses a treasure of beautiful gems. There was a mysterious giant ruby given by King Solomon to the Queen of Sheba and a faultless sapphire of 400 carats is among the Crown Jewels of England.
