The four C's of Colored Gemstones

Votes:0
The Basics of the Four C's This page is here to help the novice as well as the more experienced person understand the importance of COLOR, CLARITY, CUTTING, and CARAT weight. I have added extra "C's" to the formula in the form of COST and CONFIDENCE. This page attempts to help with the confidence issue: Confidence in gem buying stems from two sources. The most important is that the buyer has studied his subject well enough to be secure with the basics. We believe the educated buyer is a confident buyer, and we strive to help the gem-buying public in the educational arena. More on confidence later. Cost Cost refers to the problem that one must determine what one can afford. Many gem buyers have been frustrated because they know what the best color, clarity, size, and cutting chara Read More

Amber homepage

Votes:0
Welcome to the World of Amber by Susie Ward Aber, Emporia State University Emporia, Kansas, USA Million years ago large stands of forests in some parts of the world began to seep globs of sticky resin! This aromatic resin oozed down the sides of trees, as well as filling internal fissures, trapping debris, such as seeds, leaves, feathers and insects. As geologic time progressed the forests were buried and the resin hardened into a soft, warm, golden gem, known as amber. Amber is the fossilized resin of ancient trees which forms through a natural polymerization of the original organic compounds. Most of the world&#39s amber is in the range of 30-90 million years old. Amber is known to mineralogists as succinite , from the Latin succinum , which means amber. Heating amber will soften it and Read More

Home > Buying Gemstones > Care of Gemstones Buying Coloured Gemstones Care of Gemstones All gemstones vary considerably in hardness, toughness, cleavage, reaction to heat, light and acids. Therefore, in order to preserve the beauty and durability of any given gemstone it is important to understand these factors. In most cases, the full brilliance of a gemstone can be restored simply by using a mild detergent in warm water with a soft brush (not a toothbrush). Although most commercially prepared jewellery cleaners are safe, care should be exercised when using cleaners that contain ammonia or harsh chemicals. The key area when cleaning any transparent faceted gemstone is the pavilion since this area invariably collects dirt due to the setting. Cleaning Procedure Soak the gemstone for a Read More

Here's what you'll find online: The Science Behind the Sparkle Light normally travels at 186,000 miles per second, but diamond is so dense that it slows light to less than half that speed.

The Rainbow of Gems

Most of us are attracted to gemstones and are familiar with a few of the most popular and well known varieties, but there are many minerals possessing qualities that make them desirable as gemstones. Some of the lesser known stones are strikingly beautiful, relatively rare, and yet sufficiently inexpensive to make them readily accessible to a gem collector or jewelry aficionado. The list below is extensive but certainly not exhaustive; it includes familiar stones often used in jewelry and also stones suitable only for collections (due primarily to fragility). Many gemstones of natural origin are listed here, and I've just begun to list some synthetic and manmade materials with no natural counterparts. I'll try to add many more lesser known gemstones from time to time; let me know if any of Read More
