Elizabeth Emma Ferry traces the movement of minerals as they circulate from Mexican mines to markets, museums, and private collections on both sides of the US-Mexico border. She describes how and why these byproducts of ore mining come to be valued by people in various walks of life as scientific specimens, religious offerings, works of art, and luxury collectibles. The story of mineral exploration and trade defines a variegated transnational space, shedding new light on the complex relationship between these two countries and on the process of making value itself.

Industry Reviews

"An exciting new contribution to sociocultural anthropology, one that is strongly ethnographic and richly analyzed... Will make a major and important contribution to the literature on how value is created." Les W. Field, University of New Mexico "An outstanding ethnographic account of the extraction and international circulation of mineral specimens that is sure to be of interest to a broad readership." Andrew Walsh, University of Western Ontario
