A diamond is one of the best-known and most sought-after gemstones. Diamonds have been known to mankind and used as decorative items since ancient times; some of the earliest references can be traced to India. The hardness of diamond and its high dispersion of light – giving the diamond its characteristic “fire” – make it useful for industrial applications and desirable as jewelry. Diamonds are such a highly traded commodity that multiple organizations have been created for grading and certifying them based on the four Cs, which are color, cut, clarity, and carat. Other characteristics, such as presence or lack of fluorescence, also affect the desirability and thus the value of a diamond used for jewelry.
A ruby is a pink to blood-red colored gemstone, a variety of the mineral corundum (aluminium oxide). The red color is caused mainly by the presence of the element chromium. Its name comes from ruber, Latin for red. Other varieties of gem-quality corundum are called sapphires. Ruby is considered one of the four precious stones, together with sapphire, emerald and diamond.
A pearl is a hard object produced within the soft tissue (specifically the mantle) of a living shelled mollusk. Just like the shell of a clam, a pearl is composed of calcium carbonate in minute crystalline form, which has been deposited in concentric layers. The ideal pearl is perfectly round and smooth, but many other shapes (baroque pearls) occur. The finest quality natural pearls have been highly valued as gemstones and objects of beauty for many centuries. Because of this, pearl has become a metaphor for something rare, fine, admirable and valuable.
Red Coral or Lal moonga is the hard skeleton of small leafless bushes that are composed of inter-meshed spicules of hard calcium carbonate. It looks like an underwater colorful plant but in reality, they are gelatinous marine animals called polyps. Red corals are organic gemstones formed out of skeletons of individual polyps depositing together to make a colony. The remarkable characteristic of precious Red Coral Gemstones is their durable nature and intensely colored red or pink skeleton, which is commonly used in jewelry making. The red coral stone is naturally matte but can be polished to a glassy shine. The color ranges from warm reddish pink, pale pink to deep red. They are also found in other colors like, scarlet, saffron, coral red, pink to vermilion red and white.
The name of Cat’s Eye Stone has come from the striking similarity of its physical appearance with a cat’s eye. The stone can be identified with the striking beam of ray passing through its center that gives it a look of being an exact replica of Cat Eyes Gems.The stone is also known by many other names, as Lehsunia, Vaiduria, Cymophane and Chrysoberyl Cats Eye Gems. Abundantly, the cat’s eye gemstone is found in honey color, yellowish green and black, however, there are many other shades to the gemstone.This gemstone comes is various colors and black cat’s eye stone has similar impact as the other colors. Black cat’s eye stone is also worn to nullify the malefic effects of Ketu.
Commonly, sapphires are worn in jewelry. Sapphires may be found naturally, by searching through certain sediments (due to their resistance to being eroded compared to softer stones) or rock formations. They also may be manufactured for industrial or decorative purposes in large crystal boules. Because of the remarkable hardness of sapphires – 9 on the Mohs scale (the third hardest mineral, after diamond at 10 and moissanite at 9.5) – and of aluminium oxide in general, sapphires are used in some non-ornamental applications, including infrared optical components, such as in scientific instruments; high-durability windows; wristwatch crystals and movement bearings; and very thin electronic wafers, which are used as the insulating substrates of very special-purpose solid-state electronics.
The Emerald Gemstones is considered to be one of the most precious of all gemstones. It’s a derivative of the mineral beryl (a silicate of aluminium and beryllium), and the metal chromium leads to the typical bluish-green colour that is so famous that the hue ’emerald green’ is now a colour shade on its own merit. As most gemologists only know too well, the perfect Emerald Stone is a very rare occurrence. An Emerald Gems is usually graded visually – its colour should be a typical hue of dark green that has yellow and blue as secondary colours, and it should be pleasant (and not warm) to the touch. It’s common for emeralds to be cracked, so a good eye and a sensitive touch can detect if it’s flawless or not. Emeralds Gemstone may be treated with oil to enhance their transparency and excellence.
