The Gemstones Scene Review
Latest Article On Gemstones

Why collect loose gemstones you ask? Well for one thing they are very beautiful items. And like their more familiar cousin, natural diamonds, they can become extremely valuable over the years. Many in this hobby love to find, collect and finish each and every one of the 150 varieties available. Follow along as we discuss the hobby of loose gemstone collecting.
To start off right you'll need the knowledge on the wide variety of stones available. This will help you to know what exactly you're looking for and prevent you from wasting your money. A knowledgeable buyer is a wise one.
First, color is a major part in the value of the stone. The closer the color of the gemstone is to its purer spectral value the more highly prized it is. Traditional spectral colors include red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. Colors that are paler or darker than the pure spectral color tend to be less valued.
The way a stone is cut is the next factor to consider before a purchase. The precision of the cut determines the amount of light the gemstone stone will reflect. It will ultimately determine the brilliance of the stone and how much it will be valued.
Next up is gemstone clarity. Clarity refers to the the internal flaws ( known as inclusions) or the outside blemishes of a stone. Normally large flaws are visible to the naked eye with the others needing a 10X magnification.
Next to consider are size and weight. All gemstones [except for pearls and corals] are priced by the unit, carat. A carat is equal to 0.2 grams. However you should know weight and size are not the same in gemstones. Density or specific gravity can vary in gemstones. If you have a diamond that weighs 1.00 carats, you will find a similar sized ruby or sapphire is 1.20 carats.
Taking up the collecting of loose gemstones can be very rewarding hobby. And there is a wide range and variety in gemstones you can collect. You can collect gemstones like Hematite, Spinel or Kornerupine and then try others. The choice and beauty and variety is almost endless. And if money is tight you can go hunting for raw gemstones. Take the example of the US. In Minnesota you can hunt for Agate and Thomsonite.
