How To Collect Gemstones

By Lee MacRae

For many people collecting various loose gemstones or loose diamonds is a favorite pastime. They simply love the beauty and the colors Of the assorted number of gemstones you can find just about everywhere in the world. This article will discuss a number of things you need to know in starting in this interesting hobby.

To begin with your first priority is to get yourself some books on gemstones. You want to understand as much as you possibly can about the subject of gemstones. The more you understand about gemstones the wiser will be your purchases. You will know exactly what you are looking at.

To start with, an important aspect in gemstone evaluation is color. Without a doubt, gemstones are the most intensely colored naturally occurring materials you can find. Gems have become so synonomous with color, they have even lent their names to specific colors. Without a doubt you will recognize sapphire blue, ruby red, jade green, aquamarine, emerald green or turquoise. Gemstones will have a higher value the closer they come to the natural spectral colors of orange, green, yellow, violet and blue. They are valued much less the farther they deviate from the natural color.

The cut of the gemstone is an important aspect to consider when buying a gemstone. The stone has to be cut with precision to reflect the light properly. A gemstone with the poor cut will be muted or washed out. Tone, color saturation, and color hue will always look inconsistent.

Next up is the issue of gemstone clarity. Clarity is the term that refers to internal flaws (inclusions) or the external blemishes of a stone being considered. Any large flaws can easily be seen with the naked eye with the others needing a 10X magnification.

Next item to look at is the duo of size and weight. Due to their nature gemstones vary and specific gravity or density. Weight and size are not necessarily equal across the board. Take the example of a diamond that weighs 1.00 carats and a ruby of equal size would weigh 1.20 carats. An emerald stone would be about 0.95 carats and an Alexandrite gemstone would be about 1.23 carats.

Taking up the hobby of gemstones can be very enjoyable and rewarding in the long run. You don't need to spend a lot of money and yet you can build a very exquisite collection. Many people love to set aside vacation or weekend time to go looking for gemstones. Take the example of the US. In Maryland you can search for Beryl and Clam Pearl. Or ou can take a longer vacation and find opal in Opalton, Yowah, Queensland, Austalia, topaz in Beechworth, Victoria or check out the quartz regions in Mt Hope or Inverell, New South Wales.

More Information On loose dimonds

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.

Collecting Prescious And Semi-Prescious Gemstones

By Lee MacRae

Why would anyone collect items like loose gemstones, you ask? For many people it's because they've been sought for their beauty for many centuries. And like their more familiar cousin, natural diamonds, they can become extremely valuable over the years. Many people love to collect and work with the nearly 150 types of gemstones found today. Read long as we examine the loose gemstones hobby.

At the very beginning you need to learn all you can on the wide variety of stones available. This knowledge will help you to know the properties of each stone and prevent you from wasting your money. Get the answer to questions like how, where and what to buy.

First, color is a major part in evaluating a gemstone. The closer the color of the gemstone is to its purer spectral value the more highly prized it is. Traditional spectral colors include violent, blue, green,, orange and red. Colors that are darker or palerthan a pure color diminish the value of the stone.

Gemstone cut is very important and factors highly into the appraisal of not only diamonds along with gemstones. A precision cut gemstone showcases the pure color of the stone, lessen any inclusions and highlight the proportions and symmetry of the stone. One way to determine the precision of gemstone cut is to consider if it is able to reflect light on a consistent level over the stones complete surface. If the gemstone is cut to shallow much of the light will refract out of the gem instead of reflecting inside. Gem color appears washed out.

Next up is the aspect of clarity. Clarity refers to the the internal conclusions or flaws of a stone. Normally large flaws are visible to the naked eye while others require close examination using a 10X magnification.

Next on the agenda is the duo of size and weight. Because gemstones can vary in density or specific gravity. Weight and size are not equal for each and every stone. If a diamond of a certain size weighs 1.00 carats then a sapphire of equal size would weigh 1.20 carats. An equal sized Emerald would be 0.95 carats while an Alexandrite would be about 1.23 carats.

Although gems are frequently used in jewelry, loose gemstones are great for collecting. Actually there are many interesting and attractive gems that are just too big or fragile to be used for jewelry. Take each loose gemstone and consider it as a piece of art and value it for its beautiful colors and the finish you apply to it. And unlike many hobbies where you have to buy everthing you can actually go hunting for raw gemstones in the field. In the United States in Hawaii you can find Peridot and Coral. And if you travel to Canada you will find nephrite jade in Dease Lake, British Columbia or amazonite (microcline) near Eganville, Onttario and even amethyst from Nova Scotia. Think of collecting gemstones as a great hobby and pastime.

By Lee MacRae

They simply love the beauty and the colors Of the assorted number of gemstones found worldwide today. This article will discuss a number of things you need to know in starting in this hobby.

The first thing you need to do in beginning this hobby the proper way is by getting adequate knowledge about them. By taking a quick trip to the library or local bookstore you'll find numerous books on gemstones that will let you make wise purchases from the beginning.

The first item to consider is gemstone color. You want the stone to be as close in color as possible to the pure spectrum colors. The spectral colors are blue, green, yellow, orange, red and violet. Generally, the prices very pale or very dark semiprecious and precious stones are lower.

Cut is one of the all-important 4Cs and factors highly into the appraisal of not only diamonds but gemstones in general as well. A precision cut gemstone highlights the natural color of the gemstone, diminishes its inclusions, and highlight the proportions and symmetry of the stone. One way of determining the excellence in the cut of the stone is to consider how consistently it reflects the light over the stones complete surface. If the stone is cut on the shallow side most of this light were refracted away instead of reflecting internally. That will make the gem seem washed out and windowed.

The clarity in a stone is an important consideration. Gemstone clarity relates to a stones relative freedom from inclusions or blemishes. The gemstone without flaws is obviously valued highly. To see flaws beyond with the eye can see requires a 10X gemstone clarity magnifier or gem microscope. Most hobbyists will get an inexpensive 10X gemstone or jewelers loup for examining coins, stamps and of course gemstones.

Next on the agenda is the duo of size and weight. Due to their nature gemstones can vary greatly in density and specific gravity. Size and weight are not necessarily equal from stone to stone. Take the example of a diamond that weighs 1.00 carats and a sapphire of equal size would weigh 1.20 carats. An equal sized Emerald would be 0.95 carats while an Alexandrite gemstone would be about 1.23 carats.

Collecting various gemstones can create an enjoyable hobby and pastime. And there is a wide range and variety when it comes to gemstones. You could try collecting Diamond, Sugilite Bixbite (Red beryl) and then try others. The choice and beauty and variety is almost endless. And if money is tight you can go gemstone hunting and find the raw materials instead of buying them. Take the example of the US. In Georgia you can find Ruby, Beryl, Amethyst, Citrine, Garnet and Quartz.

There are many other common types of treatment to enhance the beauty of colored gemstones. Emeralds are often oiled and waxed to protect them and to hide fine lines that naturally occur in the stone. Some sapphires have their blue color enhanced using diffusion, a chemical process. Certain stones are treated with radiation, again mimicking the processes of nature. All these practices are standard in the jewelry industry; in fact, enhancement is so common that good quality unenhanced stones often come with a certificate stating that fact.

How To Collect Gemstones

By Lee MacRae

Why collect loose gemstones you ask? Well for one thing they've been sought for their beauty for many centuries. And just like natural diamonds they can become extremely valuable over the years. Many hobbyists love to find, collect and finish each and every one of the 150 varieties available. This article will examine the loose gemstones hobby.

The first thing you need to do in becoming a gemstone collector the right way is through the power of knowledge. By taking a look in your local bookstore you can find books on the subject that will let you make wise purchases from the beginning.

To start with, an important aspect in gemstone evaluation is color. It is a fact that gemstones are the most intensely colored natural materials you can find. Gems have become so synonomous with color, they have even lent their names to specific colors. Without a doubt you will recognize sapphire blue, ruby red, jade green, aquamarine, emerald green or turquoise. Gemstones will have a higher value they closer they are to natural spectral colors of orange, green, yellow, violet and blue. They drop in value when they are lighter or darker than the spectral color.

The cut of your gemstone is one of the most important traits in determining gemstone value. The gemstone must be cut with precision to reflect the light properly. A stone that has a poor cut will be muted or washed out. Tone, color saturation, and color hue will always appear inconsistent

The clarity of a gemstone is our next factor. Gemstone clarity relates to a stones relative freedom from inclusions or blemishes. The gemstone without flaws is more valuable. To determine the flaws not seen with the unaided eye you need a gemstone loupe (gemstone clarity magnifier) or gem microscope. Many hobbyists will employ a 10X jewelers were gemstone loup for examining coins, stamps and of course gemstones.

Another consideration is the duo of size and weight. Due to the fact gemstones vary and specific gravity or density. 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 equal sized Emerald would be 0.95 carats while an Alexandrite would be about 1.23 carats.

Although gemstones are normally used for jewelry, they are perfectly good collectibles in their own right. In fact, there are many attractive and interesting gemstones that are just too big or fragile to be used for jewelry. Here's a suggestion -- don't think of a gem as a component of jewelry; consider it as a piece of art and value it for its beautiful colors and the finish you apply to it. And in this hobby you don't have to always lay out cash because you can find your raw materials through field trips In the US in Pennsylvania you can find Amethyst, Almandite Garnet and Pyrope Garnet, Beryl, Sunstone and Moonstone. And if you travel to Canada you will find nephrite jade in Dease Lake, British Columbia or labradorite on Tabor Island, as well as black spinel in Burgess and bathhurst Townships in Ontario. Take up a hobby of loose gemstone collecting and enjoy yourself.
