A delightful storybook . . . a portrait of our whole world created from the contents of the ground' Literary Review'A real cabinet of curiosities' Sunday TimesFrom the hematite used in cave paintings to the moldavite that became a TikTok sensation; from the stolen sandstone of Scone to the unexpected acoustics of Stonehenge; from crystal balls to compasses, rocks and minerals have always been central to our story. 3,000 years ago Babylonians constructed lapidaries - books that tried to pin down the magical secrets of rocks. In Lapidarium, renowned art critic Hettie Judah explores the unexpected stories behind sixty stones that have shaped and inspired human history, from Dorset fossil-hunters to Chinese philosophers, Catherine the Great to Michelangelo. Discover why alchemists sought cinnabar and sulphur. Unearth the mystery of the tuff statues of Rapa Nui, the lost amber room of Frederick of Prussia and the scandal of Flint Jack. Find out how a Greek monster created coral, moon rock explains the history of Earth's only satellite and obsidian inspired the world's favourite computer game. Stone by stone, story by fascinating story, Lapidarium builds into a dazzling, epoch-spanning adventure through human culture, and beyond.

Finally!
Size: X-Large, Color: All Black D (5-pack)
Finally, comfortable underwear that don’t end up giving me a wedgie. I have a round booty and most cuts of underwear end up shifting as I walk and sit. The hem of the underwear comes right under my cheeks and the lightweight material ensures there’s no panty line and no shifting to where I don’t want them! I’m definitely purchasing more.

Ehh
Size: Medium, Color: Multicoloured E-(5-pack)
Very thin, still comfy but very thin material. Super soft though. I've worn and washed and they have held up but I won't be repurchasing bc these are so thin

They’re fantastic!!!!
Size: X-Large, Color: Multicoloured E-(5-pack)
My clothing size is 16/18 and XL. Even though Amazon suggested a size XXL, I ordered my normal XL and they fit perfectly. The fabric for this style is 92% bamboo viscose and is amazingly soft and almost silky feeling. I had ordered a different boy short in this brand but they were 80% bamboo viscose and the fabric was significantly heavier. I returned those and ordered these.

Flattering fit
Color: White, Size: Large
Flattering fit and comfortable. Material is a bit see through but that doesn't bother me. Great value for a nice looking shirt.

Super Soft and Comfortable, Just Not the Most Forgiving Fit
Color: Purple, Size: X-Large
This top is incredibly soft and comfortable, which was the first thing I noticed. It has a really nice, lightweight feel that is easy to wear and not too thick or heavy, making it great for everyday use. Fit is true to size, but I would not call it very forgiving through the midsection. It is not cropped, but it also does not have much added length, so it hits in a way that can highlight the stomach area more than expected. Just something to be aware of depending on how you like your tops to fit. I know the material blend can pricey but still not sure I would say it's value is worth it. I like it, but I odn't love it. The purple color is better in person than the picture though! Overall, it is a great basic if you are looking for something soft and comfortable, just know it leans a bit more fitted than flowy.
