Collecting Prescious And Semi-Prescious Stones
By Lee MacRae
Many people today say collecting loose gemstones or loose diamonds is their favorite hobby. Many people have a great love of the wide array of gemstones found around the world today. Read long as we examine the things you need to know in starting in this hobby.
To begin with your first priority is to visit the library and get some books. You want to understand everything there is to know about the subject of gemstones. The more you understand about each kind of gemstone the less likely you are to make a mistake. You will know exactly what you are looking at.
The first item to take into account is stone color. You'll want the stone to be as close as possible to the pure colors of the spectrum. We are talking about blue, green, yellow, orange, red and violet. In general terms, the prices of very dark are very pale stones are less per carat.
The cut of the stone is the next factor to take a look at. The precision of cut determines the amount of light the gemstone stone will reflect. It will ultimately determine the brilliance of the stone and its final value.
The next factor to look at is the clarity of the stone under consideration. This refers to the gemstones purity or the absence of internal inclusions, internal particles or spots inside the crystal. Without a doubt, zero flaws are hard to find and make your stones very valuable.
Next item to look at is the duo of weight and size. Due to their nature gemstones can vary greatly in density and specific gravity. Weight and size are not equal for each and every stone. If you have a diamond that weighs 1.00 carats an equal sized ruby would weigh 1.20 carats instead. An Emerald of equal size would be approximately 0.95 carats while an Alexandrite would be about 1.23 carats.
Collecting gemstones can be very rewarding hobby. And there is a wide range and variety when it comes to gemstones. You can start collecting gemstones like Chrysocolla, Pyrite or Clinohumite for example. The opportunities are seemingly endless. And if you like to save money but love vacations you can go hunting for raw gemstones. Take the example of the US. In Maryland you can search for Beryl and Clam Pearl.
