Starting The Hobby Of Loose Gemstone Collecting
By Lee MacRae
Many people, young and old, say collecting
loose gemstones or
loose diamonds is their favorite hobby. Many people have a great love of the various gemstones found around the world today. Read long as we examine the things you need to know when starting this gemstone hobby.
The first thing you need to do is to get yourself some reading material. You want to understand everything there is to know about precious and semiprecious gemstones. The more you understand about each kind of gemstone the wiser will be your purchases. You'll know exactly what to look for in a quality stone.
One of the first things you look at Is gemstone color. Top grade gemstones exhibit colors similar to the exact spectral color of red, orange, yellow, green, blue or violet. Gemstone colors that are muted or are too dark can lower the value.
Gemstone cut is the second most important value determination to consider. The precision of cut is the factor which determines how much light the gemstone stone will reflect. The cut will determine the brilliance of the stone and how much it will be valued.
Next to look at is the aspect of clarity. Clarity refers to the the internal conclusions or flaws of the gemstone under consideration. Larger flaws you can usually see with your naked eye while others require close examination using a 10X magnification.
Next to consider are weight and size. Save for pearls and corals, all gemstones are priced by the unit, carat. One carat equals a 0.2 grams. You should know however that weight and size are not the same in gemstones. Density or specific gravity can very. Take a diamond that is 1.00 carats in weight and you will find that a Sapphire or ruby of the same size would weigh 1.20 carats.
Taking up the hobby of gemstones can be very enjoyable and could be rewarding as well over time. You don't need to spend a lot of money and yet you can buy some very beautiful items. Many people love to set aside vacation or weekend time to go hunting gemstones. Take the example of the US. In Maine you can find Tourmaline, Beryl, Rose Quartz, Pearl, Topaz, Amazonite, Clear & Smoky Quartz and Aquamarine. Or ou can take a longer vacation and find opal in Coober Pedy, Andamooka or Mintabie in South Australia, topaz in Torrington, New South Wales, Australia or hunt specimens the quartz regions in Wave Hill in the Northern Territory of Australia.
