The World of Precious Gemstones

By Amrita Manwani

There is a big range of precious gemstone available . It is very important to store your gemstones properly to give them a long life. Store your gemstones: Jewels need space to remain free of chips. Store loose gemstones individually in soft cloth pouches and prevent jewels from bumping against one another.

Clean your gemstones regularly: Dust, skin oil and other unclean substances can cause your gemstones to lose their sparkle. Clean them from time to time in soap and water. Then let them air dry and polish them with a soft cloth.

Remove dirt from gemstones: Occasional brushing with a worn, soft-bristled toothbrush can help remove dirt from between crevices. For more resistant blemishes, use a weak solution of ammonia and water (about one part to four parts) and a soft brush.

RUBY

The world's best Burma ruby originates in the lawless region where Laos, Burma, Thailand and China meet. This area has become known and widely romanticized as 'The Golden Triangle'. The location is off the beaten track. A large amount of wealth in rubies, jade, silver, lumber and above all, opium, begins its journey in this 'Golden Triangle'. It is the home of drug warlords, arms dealers, insurgent armies, latter-day slave traders and plain, old-fashioned bandits.

SAPPHIRE

Today, Kashmir sapphires remain at the top of the gemstone hierarchy. The blue they possess is rich, velvety, and serenely soft. Originally discovered in 1882, the stones were so plentiful the locals would use them as flint stones.

CRYSOBERYL CAT'S EYE

Crysoberyl and alexandrite actually belong to the same gemological family. Known in antiquity as oculus solis, 'eye of the sun', this gem's sharply reflected ray of light produces the spectacular effect of an iris of a cat. The two main components in the value of a cat's eye are color and the eye. The best color for a cat's eye is called milk and honey.

DIAMOND

Diamonds are the best known and most traded gemstone. Very few individuals collect white diamonds. One exception are individuals who collect D-Flawless diamonds. This is the ultimate 'pure white ice' diamond.

EMERALD

Collectors are fascinated with emerald. This rare and exotic gem is also known as 'green fire'. Colombia is the main source of gem emerald. Emeralds are very included compared to most gemstones. Inclusions that would not be acceptable in ruby and sapphire are acceptable in emerald.

FANCY SAPPHIRE

Although most people tend to think of sapphire as being blue, it actually comes in a kaleidoscope of colors. Besides blue, their hues can be orange-pink (padparadscha), pink, orange, yellow, golden, purple, green, white and color change. Of course, corundum that is red is ruby, when it is discovered any other color it is sapphire.
