How To Collect Gemstones


By Lee MacRae


Why would someone go to the trouble of collect loose gemstones? Well for one thing gemstones are extremely beautiful. And just like natural diamonds they can become extremely valuable over the years. Many hobbyists love to collect and show case the nearly 150 types of gemstones found today. Follow along as we look at the hobby of collecting loose gemstones.


The first step in becoming a gemstone collector the right way is through the power of knowledge. By visiting a local library you can find books on the subject that will prevent you from making mistakes at the start.


First on your list to consider will be gemstone color. You'll want the gemstone to be as close in color as possible to the pure spectrum colors. This means blue, green, yellow, orange, red and violet. Generally, the prices very pale or very dark semiprecious and precious gemstones are less per carat.


How the gemstone has been cut is the next factor to consider before buying. The precision of the cut will determine how much light is reflected by the gemstone. It will ultimately ultimately determine the stones brilliance and how much it will be valued.


Next up is the issue of gemstone clarity. Clarity refers to the the internal flaws ( known as inclusions) or the outside blemishes of a stone being considered. Any large flaws can be seen with the naked eye while others need a 10X magnification.


Next item to look at is the duo of weight and size. Due to the fact gemstones vary and specific gravity or density. Size and weight are not necessarily equal from stone to stone. If a diamond of a certain size weighs 1.00 carats then a sapphire of equal size would weigh 1.20 carats. An emerald stone would be about 0.95 carats and an Alexandrite stone would be about 1.23 carats.


Getting involved in collecting gemstones can become an enjoyable pastime and also rewarding in the long run.

Starting The Hobby Of Loose Gemstone Collecting


By Lee MacRae


Why would someone go to the trouble of collect loose gemstones? Well to begin with they've been sought for their beauty for many centuries. And like their higher counterpart, natural diamonds their value increases over time. Many hobbyists love to collect and show case the nearly 150 types of gemstones found today. Follow along as we look at the hobby of collecting loose gemstones.


The first thing you need to do in becoming a gemstone collector the proper way is by getting adequate knowledge about them. By taking a quick trip to the library or local bookstore you can find books on the subject that will prevent you from making mistakes at the start.


First, color is a major part in giving value to a gemstone. The closer the color comes to its purer spectral value the more valuable it is. Traditional spectral colors include red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. Gemstones colors that are paler or darker diminish the value of the stone.


Stone cut is the second most important value determination to consider before buying. The precision of cut determines the amount of light the gemstone stone will reflect. It will fully determine the brilliance of the stone and its final value.


Next to look at is the clarity of the gemstone. Clarity refers to the internal flaws (inclusions) or the external blemishes of a stone. Normally large flaws are visible to the naked eye with the others needing a 10X magnification.


Next up are weight and size. All gemstones [except for pearls and corals] are priced by the carat. One carat equals a 0.2 grams. Be aware however, that weight and size are not the same in gemstones. Density or specific gravity can vary in gemstones. Take a diamond that is 1.00 carats in weight and you will find that a similar sized sapphire or ruby would weigh 1.20 carats.


Taking up the hobby of gemstones can be very enjoyable and could be rewarding as well over time. You can start small and don't have to spend a lot of money and yet you can buy some very beautiful items. Many people love to take vacations to go hunting for raw gemstones. For example in Florida you can find Chalcedony and Conch Pearl. Or you can take the time to travel and find opal at Lightning Ridge in NSW, Austalia, topaz in Beechworth, Victoria or check out the quartz regions in Mt Hope or Inverell, New South Wales.

So You Want To Collect Loose Gemstones


By Lee MacRae


Gemology is the science, art and profession of identifying and evaluating gemstones from natural diamonds to loose gemstones. Many people take up gemology as a hobby. They collect and evaluate loose diamonds or loose gemstones. Some people even begin to travel to various neghbourhood locations to look for rough gemstones. Some hobbyists will learn to cut or tumble the gemstones they find. If you have an interest in this hobby then read along as we reveal the various factors in gemstone collecting.


Right at the beginning, what you need is to get yourself some reading material. You want to understand everything there is to know about your new hobby. The more you learn about each kind of gemstone the wiser will be your purchases. You'll know exactly what to look for in a quality stone.


First on the list to evaluate is gemstone color. Gemstones are the most intensely colored naturally occurring materials you can find. Gemstones are so related to color that they've even become associated with particular ones. Without a doubt you will recognize sapphire blue, ruby red, jade green, aquamarine, emerald green or turquoise. Gemstones become higher in value they closer they are to natural spectral colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. They become less valuable the more they deviate from the spectral color.


The cut of the gemstone is one of the most important traits when you consider a gemstone's value. The stone has to be cut in a way that reflects light back to the viewer. A gemstone with an improper cut will not reflect light consistently over its entire surface. Color saturation, hue and tone will always appear inconsistent


The clarity of a gemstone is the next item to consider. Gemstone clarity relates to the amount of inclusions (trace elements or large particles of other elements or minerals) that a gem has. A flawless gemstone is obviously valued highly. To see flaws beyond with the eye can see you need a 10X gemstone loupe (gemstone clarity magnifier) or gem microscope. Most hobbyists will buy a 10X jewelers were gemstone loup for viewing stamps, coins, beads as well as gems.


You will often find that gemstones are often listed according to their size since it is more uniform than carat weight. But two different gemstones may have the same size but different carat weights and consequently, different prices as well. This is due to the nature of gemstone difference regarding specific gravity and depends on the materials chemical composition and crystalline structure. A one carat round brilliant diamond, for example of typical proportions will be approximately 6.5 mm in diameter. A comparable a brilliant ruby of the same proportions in size will weigh in at 1.55 carats instead.


Although gems are frequently used in jewelry, loose gemstones are great for collecting. Actually there are many interesting and attractive gemstones who that are too fragile or too large to be used in jewelry. Look at each stone and consider it as a piece of art and value it for its unique nature and vibrant colors. And unlike some hobbies that require you to pay for your specimens you can actually go hunting for raw gemstones in the field. In the United States in New Hampshire you can rock hunt for Beryl, Rock Crystal and Garnet. And in Canada you can find nephrite jade in Cry Lake, British Columbia or labradorite on the adjacent islands and coastal area of Labrador and even hessonite garnet in Asbestos, Quebec. Think of collecting gemstones as a great hobby and pastime.

There are a lot of different trade names for opals, but the most recognized and
widely used is the precious and common opal. Even though the opal is brittle and
can break quite easily, and is prey to scratches and heat it remains high on the
list of gemstone collectors. The reason is that opals are truly beautiful. Its.
beauty fascinated earlier cultures. Some even believed it fell from heaven. The
birthstone of October is the opal and in the 19th century those who were
superstitious believed that only those born in that month should wear opals.
Anyone else wearing one was supposed to have run the risk of having bad luck or
running into a dire fate.

Topaz is a very large stone. One giant gem at the Viennese Historical museum is
reputed to weigh 585,000 carats. The rarest topaz is the Imperial Topaz and pink
topaz. Pakistan is the only place today where rose-red tinted topaz can be found
today. All other pink topazes get their color from heat treatments of up to 475?
C. Imperial topaz is has a yellow tint to it while other members of the topaz
family can be completely colorless. Some of the most beautiful examples of topaz
are the famous blue topaz which can have colorful ranges starting with light
blue stones. The very deep blue topaz is artificially produced by heating and
irridation processes. One of the most interesting characteristics about topaz is
that it bleaches in daylight and then renews itself as the light subsides. The
color changes occur because of natural heating and irridation.

De Beers reigned as the supreme supplier of diamonds until other countries began
successful operations. One country is Australia. Diamond entrepreneurs and
geologists began searching for kimberlite pipes in the Kimberly region of
Western Australia in 1969. The search went on for 10 years and on October 2,
1979 the Argyle pipe was discovered. Once it was decided that the enterprise
would be economical they started to mine the area in 1983, and the Argyle
Diamond Mine was given its commission in December 1985.

The Power Of Healing In Gemstones and Crystals

By Titus Kase

It really is fascinating that the knowledge of particular crystals and gemstones being able to cure specific ailments through the energy they emit has been with man for centuries. The fact is that with a small number of different types of loose gemstones you are able to achieve results that conventional medicine cannot.

Yet it has taken modern medicine a long time to appreciate and accept the alternative healing that uses gemstones as a scientific and effective method of treatment. In actual fact gemstones and crystals are able to effect treatment much more quickly and without the need for extended periods of treatment or hospital stays. Little wonder that the popularity of this alternative medicine has spread like wild fire throughout many medical facilities and clinics worldwide.

Just to give a few examples here, Anxiety and Neuritis are cured by sapphire gem stones. Diamond works miracles with Alzheimer's, asthma and bronchitis.

Experts warn that it is important to use only the highest quality stones. Actually rounded stones are recommended as non-rounded stones may have different effect.

There is really no denying the fact that gemstones have powerful energies that have profound resonance with the human body and are therefore the perfect medicinal tool. The way precious stones and crystals work is that they use the body's inherent healing force to nourish and heal in so many ways at the same time. Each particular type of stone usually embodies a very unique energy force that can easily focus and produce very specific therapeutic effects and results.

The topaz has superb qualities of color, clarity and hardness. Its. hardness
allows it to be easily polished because it contains an innate smoothness. The
smoothness and slipperiness of topaz is one of the ways it is identified along
with the brilliancy of color. It comes in all different shades of yellow, blue,
brown and rose reds. Most deep blue hues are produced artificially by heat and
irridation. Citrine is sometimes mistaken for topaz. The more intense colors of
topaz is what usually sets it apart from the lighter citrine colors. However,
there is a test known as the "methylene iodide test" that can make a final
determination. A stone is place in the solution, and a citrine gem will float
while the topaz will sink to the bottom. While hardness is a definite prime
attribute, topaz has a real disadvantage with its. basal cleavage. This makes
the stone very sensitive to sharp blows so artisans and miners have to handle it
very carefully.

The Hobby Of Gemstone Collecting


By Lee MacRae


For many people collecting semi-precious and precious gemstones like loose diamonds or loose gemstones is a passionate hobby. They simply love the beauty and the colors of the wide array of gemstones found worldwide today. Follow along as we examine the things you need to know when starting this gemstone hobby.


The first step in starting the hobby of collecting gemstones the intelligent way is through the power of knowledge. By visiting a local library you'll find numerous books on gemstones that will help you to know exactly what you should do.


Color is a subjective idea but a very important part in giving value to a gemstone. The closer the color of the gemstone is to its purer spectral value the more valuable it is. Remember that the spectral colors are orange, green, yellow, Violet and blue. Colors that tend to be darker or paler are considered a lower value.



Cut is one of the all-important 4Cs and factors into appraisal of diamonds along with gemstones. An excellent cut will highlight the natural color of the gemstone, lessen any inclusions and show off its symmetry and proportions. One excellent way to determine the excellence regarding the cut of the gemstone is how consistently it reflects the light over its entire surface. But if a gem is cut too shallow, much of the light will refract out of the gem instead of reflecting inside. That will make the gem seem washed out and windowed.


Our next consideration is gemstone clarity. Clarity refers to the internal flaws (inclusions) or the external blemishes of the gemstone. Normally large flaws are visible to the naked eye while others require close examination using a 10X magnification.


Next thing to look at is the duo of weight and size. Due to the fact gemstones can vary greatly in density and specific gravity. Weight and size are not necessarily equal across the board. Take the example of a diamond that weighs 1.00 carats and an equal sized ruby would weigh 1.20 carats instead. An equal sized Emerald would be 0.95 carats while an Alexandrite gem stone would came in at 1.23 carats.


Getting involved in collecting gemstones can give you an enjoyable pastime and rewarding in the long run. You don't need to spend a lot of money and yet you can end up with some very beautiful stones. Many people love to set aside vacation or weekend time to go hunting gemstones. Take the example of the United States. In Arizona you can find Agatized wood (Petrified wood), Azur-Malachite, Turquoise, Garnet, Peridot, Jasper and Moissanite Or ou can take a longer vacation and find opal in Coober Pedy, Andamooka or Mintabie in South Australia, topaz in Mt Surprise or O'Briens Creek in Queensland, Australia or hunt the quartz regions in Beechworth and Mooralla in Victoria Australia.

In parts of the world sapphires may have come from ancient formations that were
once impure marble which developed over time through metamorphic conditions into
crystalline cal silicates known as skarns. A skarn is a metamorphic rock that is
usually variably colored green or red, occasionally grey, black, brown or white.
It usually forms by chemical processes that form rocks during metamorphism and
in the contact zone of magma like intrusions. Skarns in the igneous environment
are associated with marble and wider zones of cal silicate rocks. Mixtures of
corundum, titanium and iron were also a part of the crystallization process.
Because of this process there are numerous inclusions in a sapphire, and like
the ruby, they are useful in verification techniques when authenticating the
stone.

Starting The Hobby Of Gemstone Collecting


By Lee MacRae


The term gemology refers to the art, profession and science of evaluating and identifying gemstones from natural diamonds to loose gemstones. A number of people taken up this profession more as a hobby. They collect and evaluate loose diamonds or loose gemstones. Some people even begin to travel to different areas close by or even taking a trip to other countries to look for rough gemstones. Some even tumble or learn to cut their own gemstones. If you have an interest in this hobby read along as this article discusses the in and outs of gemstone collecting.


The first thing you need to do in beginning this hobby the smart way is through the power of knowledge. By taking a quick trip to the library or local bookstore you can find books on the subject that will let you make wise purchases from the beginning.


Of paramount importance is the color of the gemstone. Top grade gemstones have pure colors there as close as possible to the purest spectral colors of orange, green, yellow, Violet or blue. Muted gemstone colors or on the dark side are diminished in value.


Gemstone cut is one of the most important traits when you consider a gemstone's value. The cut has to be done correctly to reflect light properly. A stone that has a poor cut will not reflect the light consistently. The color hue, color tone and saturation will always look inconsistent.


The clarity in a stone is the next item to consider. Gemstone clarity relates to the amount of inclusions (trace elements or large particles of other elements or minerals) that a gem has. A perfect gemstone is obviously valued highly. To determine the flaws not seen with the unaided eye you need a gemstone loupe (gemstone clarity magnifier) or gem microscope. Serious hobbyists will get a 10X jewelers were gemstone loup for viewing their coins, beads, stamps or in our case gemstones.


Next item to look at is the duo of size and weight. Due to the fact gemstones can vary in density or specific gravity. Weight and size are not equal for each and every stone. Take the example of a diamond that weighs 1.00 carats and a sapphire of equal size would weigh 1.20 carats. An emerald stone would be about 0.95 carats and an Alexandrite stone would be about 1.23 carats.


Although gems are frequently used in jewelry, they are a great hobby and pastime as well. In fact, there are many attractive and interesting gemstones that are just too big or fragile to be used for jewelry. Take each gemstone and Think of it as a mini sculpture or piece of art to be highly treasured for its beautiful colors and the finish you apply to it. And unlike some hobbies that require you to pay for your specimens you can actually go hunting for raw gemstones in the field. In the United States in Arizona you can find Agatized wood (Petrified wood), Azur-Malachite, Turquoise, Garnet, Peridot, Jasper and Moissanite And in Canada you can hunt for nephrite jade in Mount Sidney Williams, British Columbia or blue spinel from Daillebout, Quebec and even ammolite from Lethbridge, Alberta. Take up gemstone collecting and you won't regret it.

Hints On small loose diamonds

Authentic emeralds are very expensive, and not available to the casual collector
. However, with today.s technology scientists can make lab-created emeralds that
can be sold at affordable prices on the open market. They are made by exposing
thin slices of natural beryl to a chemical mixture that is akin to an authentic
emerald. The mixture is one of pure filtered water and acids. Then it is put
under intense heat in saline solution. Then the stone slices cool until crystal
forms and it reaches a gem like thickness. When this process is complete it can
be cut and processed like a gem.

The GIA recently released a new cut grading system and it appears they have

able to install some flexibility in the system to allow for personal preferences
, with table size being a prime example.
