Hints About loose diamons

Benitoite is only found in San Benito County, in Southern California. Just a few
hundred carats are found each year. A lot of this, maybe even a majority, is
kept in it�s natural form. Very little gets cut and offered for sale. Because it
is fairly well known and quite beautiful, the larger pieces demand prices around
$1,000 per carat. This is quite a bit less than a diamond or ruby, but much more
that other rare gems.

How To Collect Loose Gemstones


By Lee MacRae


Why would anyone collect items like loose gemstones, you ask? Well for one thing they've been sought for their beauty for many centuries. And like their higher counterpart, natural diamonds they can appreciate in value over time. Many people love to collect and show case the nearly 150 types of gemstones found today. This article will examine the loose gemstones hobby.


The first step in becoming a gemstone collector the smart way is by acquiring knowledge about them. 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.


The chief thing you need to look at is the color of the stone. You'll want the stone that is as close as possible to the pure spectrum colors. The spectral colors are violet, orange, yellow, green, blue, and red. The prices of very dark are very pale gemstones are lower in value.


The cut of your gemstone is an important aspect to consider when evaluating gemstones. The gemstone must be cut correctly to reflect light properly. A gemstone with an improper cut will not reflect light in a consistent way. Color saturation, color hue and color tone will always appear inconsistent


Our next consideration is the issue of gemstone clarity. The aspect of clarity refers to the internal flaws ( known as inclusions) or the outside blemishes of a stone being considered. Larger flaws can easily be seen with the unaided eye with the others needing a 10X magnification.


Next on the agenda is the duo of size and weight. Because gemstones can vary greatly in density and specific gravity. Weight and size are not necessarily equal across the board. If you have a diamond that weighs 1.00 carats an equal sized Sapphire would weigh more than 1.20 carats. An emerald stone would be about 0.95 carats and an Alexandrite gemstone would be about 1.23 carats.


Although gemstones are normally used for jewelry, they are perfectly good collectibles in their own right. Actually there are many interesting and attractive gems that are just too big or fragile to be used for jewelry. Look at each loose gemstone and think of it as a piece of art, a miniature sculpture to be treasured for its beautiful colors and the finish you apply to it. And unlike many hobbies where you have to buy everthing you can find your raw materials through field trips In the United States in Georgia you can find Ruby, Beryl, Amethyst, Citrine, Garnet and Quartz. And in Canada you can find nephrite jade in Cry Lake, British Columbia or blue spinel from Daillebout, Quebec along with hessonite garnet in Asbestos, Quebec. Think of gemstone collecting for the great hobby it is.
