So You Want To Collect Gemstones


By Lee MacRae


Many people, young and old, say collecting various loose gemstones or loose diamonds is a favorite pastime. They love the colors and the beauty of the wide array of gemstones found around the world today. Read long as we look at a number of factors you should understand when starting to collect varieties of gemstones yourself.


The first thing you need to do is to get yourself some books on gemstones. You want to learn as much as you possibly can about precious and semiprecious gemstones. The more you know about each kind of gemstone the wiser will be your purchases. With adequate knowledge you are less likely to be fooled.


Of paramount importance is the color of the gem. Highly prized gemstones have pure colors there as close as possible in pureness to the spectral colors of yellow, blue, Violet, green, orange or red. Gemstone colors that are somewhat muted or are too dark can lower the value quite easily.


The cut of the gemstone is easily one of the most important aspects when you consider a gemstone's value. The cut has to be done in a way that reflects light back to the viewer. A gemstone with an improper cut will not reflect the light consistently. Color tone, saturation, and hue will never look consistent.


Gemstone clarity is our next factor. Clarity refers to a stones relative freedom from inclusions or blemishes. Generally speaking, a clearer stone is definitely worth much more. To examine flaws not seen with the naked eye requires a gemstone loupe or gemstone microscope. Most hobbyists will get a 10X jewelers were gemstone loup for viewing stamps, coins, beads as well as gems.


You will note that gemstones are categorized according to their size criteria because it is more uniform than carat weight. But two different gemstones may be the same size but different carat weights and consequently, different prices as well. This factor comes from the difference regarding specific gravity or relative density depending upon the chemical composition and crystal structure type A one carat round brilliant diamond, for example with normal proportions is approximately 6.5 mm around. A comparable round brilliant ruby of the same size and proportions will weigh in at 1.55 carats.


Collecting various gemstones can be very rewarding hobby. And there is a wide range and variety in precious and semi precious stones that you can collect. You could try collecting Agate, Chalcedony (bloodstone) or Turquoise and then try others. The choice and beauty and variety is almost endless. And if money is tight you can go gemstone hunting and find the raw materials instead of buying them. Just in the United States in Florida you can find Chalcedony and Conch Pearl.
