“I don't want anything until I find a place where I can settle. I don't know where that place is, but I know what it's like: it's like Tiffany's."
The phrase was pronounced by the character played by Audrey Hepburn, Holly Golightly, in the famous film adaptation of Truman Capote's book, Breakfast at Tiffany's. And while he pronounced it, Hepburn's huge eyes were lost among the precious stones in that window of the most well-known jewelry store in New York.
Precious stones are those imperishable objects that are passed from mothers to children, from grandmothers to grandchildren, like priceless little household treasures. It doesn't matter if it's a diamond or a sapphire, a rose quartz or a green onyx; Inside that tiny little mineral, family stories are kept, words are said without being named and the history of its owners is immortalized, at least a little.
But in addition, precious stones are palpable chemical symbols that transmit unique messages from the depths of the Earth. Clues that gemologists try to decipher to find out what happens under our feet, but that many others, mixing science with legend, have granted magical and healing properties.
