  • Gemstones, Precious and Semiprecious Stones
    Gemstones, precious and semiprecious stones Precious and semiprecious stones, in addition to gold, silver, and platinum, are the most commonly used components of jewelry. Precious stones: Diamonds have traditionally been the most highly prized of such stones, varying in color from yellow to bluish white and sometimes reaching enormous size. Rubies, emeralds, and sapphires are other precious stones used for jewelry, as are the less costly chrysoberyl, topaz, and zircon. Semiprecious stones: Amethyst, garnet, opal, aquamarine, jade , turquoise, agate, onyx, lapis lazuli, and malachite. Stones of organic origin: Amber, a fossil tree resin, is a highly valued stone. Pearls and corals, though animal in origin rather than mineral, are also usually considered gemstones. Gemstone is any of various minerals highly prized for beauty, durability, and rarity. Of the more than 2,000 identified natural minerals, fewer than 100 are used as gemstones and only 16 have achieved importance. These are beryl, chrysoberyl, corundum, diamond, feldspar, garnet, jade , lazurite, olivine, opal, quartz , spinel , topaz, tourmaline, turquoise, and zircon. Some of these minerals provide more than one type of gem. Beryl, for example, provides emeralds and aquamarines, while corundum provides rubies and sapphires. In virtually all cases, the minerals have to be cut and polished for use in jewelry. Gemstones have attracted humankind since ancient times, and have long been used for jewelry. The prime requisite for a gem is that it must be beautiful. The beauty may lie in color or lack of color, in the latter case, extreme limpidity and "fire" may provide the attraction. A gem must also be durable to withstand the wear and tear of constant handling.

  • Lapis Lazuli
    LAPIS LAZULI Among the world’s many gemstones, lapis lazuli, or “lapis” as it is familiarly known, has a distinction. Many scholars and archaeologists believe that it was the first gemstone ever mined in quantity. The oldest known lapis deposits, located in Afghanistan, have been systematically mined since about 4000 B.C. Few gemstones display color as rich as the deep, royal blue of fine lapis. Adding to its visual appeal, lapis often exhibits glittering, golden flecks of pyrite. When cut and polished into cabochons and set in gold, lapis gemstones have a distinctive beauty all their own. Understanding lapis lazuli, which is a rock, requires a basic understanding of lazurite, which is a mineral. Lazurite is the primary component of lapis lazuli and is also the cause of its blue color. Lazurite, or basic sodium calcium aluminum sulfate chlorosilicate (Na,Ca)8Si6Al6O24[(SO4),S,Cl,(OH)]2, is a tectosilicate or framework silicate that is made up of 13.5 percent sodium, 7.8 percent calcium, 15.8 percent aluminum, 16.3 percent silicon, 6.0 percent sulfur, 38.1 percent oxygen, and small percentages of chlorine and hydrogen. The color of pure lazurite is a deep azure. It crystallizes in the isometric (cubic) system, usually as dodecahedral and occasionally as cubic crystals, but most often occurs in massive form. Lazurite is usually opaque, has a dull-to-greasy luster, poor cleavage in six directions, a pale-blue streak, a Mohs hardness of 5.0-5.5, and a specific gravity of 2.4-2.5. Lazurite forms from high-grade, contact metamorphism of silica-poor marine limestone that contains available sulfur and chlorine.

  • Emerald – the May Birthstone
    Learning Series: Birthstones – May Emerald – The May Birthstone Background Emerald, by definition, is a green to blue-green beryl where the color is derived from impurities of chromium, vanadium, or a combination of both. There is controversy, however. Some say that to be an emerald, the stone must have the impurity chromium, even though some intense grass-green emeralds colored only by vanadium impurities look exactly the same as the so called ‘real emeralds' with chromium impurities. Within an emerald’s depths are often tiny fractures or inclusions which the French call "jardin", or garden, because of their resemblance to foliage. Owning to the rich green color, emerald has long been associated with spring and symbolizes love and rebirth. It is so prized that, carat for carat, a fine emerald may be two to three times as valuable as a diamond. According to Indian mythology, the name emerald was first translated from Sanskrit as “marakata,” meaning “the green of growing things.” The name we know it as today comes from the Greek 'smaragdos' via the Old French 'esmeralde', and really just means 'green gemstone'. The history of emeralds can be traced back to antiquity. Records show that the stone was known and sold in markets in Babylon as early as 4000 BC. It is a stone that was worshiped by the Incas and is mentioned in biblical information about the apocalypse. Emeralds are most frequently found inside a form of shale – a fine-grained sedimentary rock. Emerald-bearing shale has undergone recrystallization due to changes in the physical environment, such as pressure and temperature.

  • How Are Rocks, Minerals and Gems Formed? by Petra, Isha and Annabelle Introduction
    How are rocks, minerals and gems formed? By Petra, Isha and Annabelle Introduction: Rocks are a solid and they can not melt. It can take tens of thousands of years for a rock to form and it has to grow where it has been formed all its life. All rocks become the other type of rock, for example Igneous rocks turn into Sedimentary and then Sedimentary rocks turns into a Metamorphic rock and this is called the rock cycle. How are Metamorphic rocks formed? Metamorphic rocks do not melt, but simply because the minerals that they contain get changed chemically, this forms the rock. Metamorphic rocks are sometimes formed when they close up in a volcano and they get heated up. Everyone needs to remember that Metamorphic rocks are not made from melted rock. How are Igneous rocks formed? Inside earth, fiery heat melts rocks into magma. When magma erupts from a volcano, it’s called lava. Above ground, the lava cools and hardens into igneous rocks. Sometimes magma does not erupt, instead it cools and hardens into igneous rocks. How are Sedimentary rocks are formed? Sedimentary rocks are made out of mud, sand and pebbles. They come from other rocks, minerals and elements which have been worn down by wind, rain, snow and ice which break rocks into small and little bits, this process is called erosion. These bits are called sediment and the sediment wash into lakes and oceans. Sediment pile up in layers and over the time, the layers press together to form a new rock. How are Sedimentary rocks formed? #2 If you were to find a Sedimentary rock you could(if you know your rocks)probably figure out what environment it was formed in.

  • Ruby – the July Birthstone
    Learning Series: Birthstones – July Ruby – The July Birthstone Background The story of the July birthstone traces to the ancient Silk Road of China. Notes about the transport of rubies can be found all the way back to 200 BC, as Asian traders imported rubies into to their native cultures where they were held in very high regard for their gem quality and red color; a good luck color in many Asian cultures. Rubies were used not just for jewelry, but to ornament armor, scabbards and harnesses for wealthy noblemen. Some wealthy people even laid rubies into the foundations of their homes as a good luck charm. The word “ruby” comes from the Latin "ruber," meaning red. It is a variety of the mineral Corundum and for a ruby to be born in the natural environment, a perfect combination of aluminum oxide, correct temperature, correct pressure in the earth’s crust and very low silicon content is a requisite. This makes rubies very rare and large rubies (over 2 carats) even rarer. Host rocks of rubies often include metamorphic dolomite marbles, gneiss, and amphibolite. However, rubies are not normally extracted from the primary deposits due to the high cost of mining. They are retrieved from the secondary deposits which are usually alluvial. Mining of rubies is still fairly primitive and takes many man-hours of labor to find the stones. Once the gem bearing alluvial material is identified, then the gravel is sifted through wire screens and picked out by hand. Rubies were once known in eastern legends as “blood drops from the heart of the Mother Earth”.
