  • Estimating Weights of Mounted Colored Gemstones
    NOTE S AND NE W TECHNIQUES ESTI MATING WEIGHTS OF MOUNTED COL ORED GEMS TONES By Charles I. Carmona Updated formulas are presented for estimating the weights of mounted col - ored gemstones. These formulas are derived from measurements and weights of thousands of German-cut calibrated amethysts and citrines, rep - resenting most commercially available shapes and sizes. As with the formu - las taught by GIA, the dimensions of a stone are multiplied by its specific gravity and by a “shape factor” that is determined by the stone’s face-up outline. This article also illustrates how the shape factor changes over a con - tinuum of common face-up outlines. As in previous formulas, a separate weight correction factor is applied to stones that show proportion variations in profile view. Estimating weights of mounted gemstones has gemstone weights, or negotiating the sale or pawn become a common routine for many of today’s jew - of jewelry. elry tradespeople.

  • Dual-Color Double Stars in Ruby, Sapphire, and Quartz
    FEATURE ARTICLES DUAL -C OLOR DOUBLE STARS IN RUBY , SAPPHIRE , AND QUARTZ : CAUSE AND HISTORICAL ACCOUNT Karl Schmetzer, Martin P. Steinbach, H. Albert Gilg, and Andrea R. Blake A largely overlooked form of asterism consisting of dual-color double stars is found in natural sapphire, in diffusion-treated and non-diffusion-treated synthetic rubies and sapphires, and in natural quartz. To characterize and explain this phenomenon, examples of these materials were examined. In transparent or translucent samples, an optical pattern of a white six-rayed star and a bodycolored (e.g., red, orange, yellow, green, blue) six-rayed star was frequently observed. Grinding and repolishing experiments showed that the asterism of part of the synthetic samples was produced or enhanced by diffusion treat - ment. The mechanism responsible for the formation of the dual-color double stars is discussed. To pro - duce the pattern, acicular inclusions must either be present in relatively thin layers confined to the dome and the base of diffusion-treated ruby or sapphire cabochons, or be distributed throughout the complete corundum (natural or synthetic) or quartz samples. The white star is caused by interaction of light with the upper layer of the cabochon’s dome. The bodycolored star, in contrast, is generated by light that enters the cabochon, is reflected and scattered at the base layer of the cabochon, and then travels a sec - ond time back through the body of the sample. As further prerequisites for observation of the phenom - enon, the gemstones must be transparent or translucent, with polished base and dome. A historical summary of the manufacture and improvement of synthetic asteriated corundum by dif - fusion treatment offers additional insight into dual-color double-star stones.

  • SLABS to CABS: How to Make Lapidary Cabochons ©2006-2015 Inland Lapidary
    SLABS TO CABS: How to Make Lapidary Cabochons ©2006-2015 Inland Lapidary Creating beautiful, polished cabochons from slabbed rock is a rewarding process that (with a bit of practice) anyone can master. This guide will help you work through all of the steps required. You will need the user guides included with indicated machines for basic assembly and general operating instructions. We strongly suggest that you work through the process with practice pieces first. PLEASE, save that special slab for when you have a bit of experience with the machine. Remember to spend the necessary time at each step eliminating scratches before going on to the next step. There is no exact calculated time for each step, but with experience you will get a solid feel for what amount of grind- ing is necessary at each step of the process. No matter which step you are on, the following safety precautions and guidelines always apply: • It is extremely important to wear proper eye protection when using any machine. We highly recommend that you wear full coverage safety goggles rather than just glasses. • DO NOT wear loose clothing or any accessories (long necklaces, bracelets, shirts with long fringes, and similar) that might get caught by the machines during operation. • Use only in a properly grounded and tested outlet. Under NO circumstances should you override the ground- ing system or modify the plug. Most surge suppressors have a green light indicating that the plug is properly grounded. • Set up your machine on a sturdy, level work surface that is water tolerant and at a comfortable height for your frame.
