Our Quality Raw Gemstones...
The evaluation of gemstones and their value depends significantly on their size, color intensity and color gradation, its clarity without visible inclusions, and the proportions and aesthetic symmetries of the cut for best brilliance.
Ruby
Rubies are extremely strong, registering 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness. They are as resilient as sapphires and only slightly softer than diamonds. Rubies have been found all over the world,
Saphires
When you picture a sapphire, what comes to your mind? Most people imagine a rich blue gem, like the one in Princess Diana’s famous engagement ring. But did you know that sapphire can be almost any color of the rainbow?
Emeralds
When many people think of rare or expensive gemstones their first thought is of diamonds. But it is emerald that is among the rarest of all gemstones and so often has a price tag to match. They are part of a family of gems called beryl and are mined all over the world.
Tourmaline
Many gemstones around the world appear in a variety of different colours – Sapphire, Garnet and Spinel to name a few. However, Tourmaline has the widest colour variety of every other gemstone out there.
Aquamarine
Aquamarines, which are a form of the mineral beryl, range from blue-green to deep blue. Naturally occurring deep-blue aquamarines are the rarest and most valuable. Some of these crystals weigh more than 250 pounds.
Morganite
Like emerald and aquamarine, morganite is part of the beryl mineral family. However, unlike emeralds, which tend to have a lot of inclusions, morganite gemstones are relatively free of inclusions, making them more eye-appealing and easier to care for.
Spinel
The wide range of colours seen in Spinel, from deep reds and rich blues to vivid pinks and oranges, is due to trace impurities within the crystal structure. Chromium impurities can create red and pink Spinels, while iron and cobalt can produce blue and violet varieties.
Citrine
Citrine is a variety of quartz. It is transparent and appears in a color range from yellow to brownish orange. Citrine is rare to find in nature and when it is, it has often been confused for topaz.
Amethyst
Amethysts are amongst the most popular gemstones used in jewellery and decoration. Since antiquity, many properties have been prescribed to this gemstone and many still believe in them to this day. Amethyst’s beautiful vivid purple colour is highly sought after by gem collectors and everyday people alike whether it is in its raw, polished or gem form. Below we present 10 interesting facts about amethyst.
Zircon
One unique zircon trait is the common presence of small amounts of radioactive substances, namely hafnium, uranium and thorium. These elements give zircon two more unique traits: The ability to change its refractive index and density over time, and. Usefulness in determining the age of rocks or fossils.
Moonstone
The name moonstone derives from the stone’s characteristic visual effect, called adularescence (or schiller), which produces a milky, bluish interior light. This effect is caused by light diffraction through alternating layers of orthoclase and albite within the stone.
Scapolite
Is scapolite a rare stone? Yes! Scapolite stone is an extremely rare and sought-after semi-precious gemstone! However, some gems lack the durability and hardness for most mainstream jewelry use. Instead, it’s classified as a collector’s stone.
Garnets
Did you know there are multiple varieties of garnets that come in many colors? Rhodolite garnets can be purplish to pink, while spessartite garnets are orange-hued. Pyrolite garnets are prized for their richer red colors. Mali garnets range from lemon yellow to mint green. Demantoid garnets are the rarest of all and show off a bright green shine that rivals the diamond. The only garnet color that does not exist is blue.
Topaz
Topaz is a silicate mineral made of aluminum and fluorine with the chemical formula Al₂SiO₄(F, OH)₂. It is used as a gemstone in jewelry and other adornments. Common topaz in its natural state is colorless, though trace element impurities can make it pale blue or golden brown to yellow-orange.
