Very few people think of buying natural gemstones as an alternative to investment. Well one cannot depend solely on it as an investment factor, but spending wisely on gemstones can definitely prove wiseful after some years. The basic reason for this is that- demand is ever increasing and supply limited!

Conversely, investing in gem stones can be a profitable business if not just a hobby. But love for gemstones and appreciating their worth are also equally important. One should, therefore, not only look at the monetary benefits but also should be able to appreciate their beauty. If you have the money and are also a gemstone lover then this article is definitely worth a look.

Most of the gem lovers have, at some point or the other, must have heard of the natural colour changing Alexandrite gemstone. It is one of the rarest natural gemstones found which possesses a beautiful characteristic of colour change, i.e. it shows a different colour in morning light and another colour in evening light or candle light. This phenomenon along with rarity makes it very valuable. If you are interested in investing in alexandrite then it’s better to learn everything about it. A single search online yields enough information for you to know everything about it.

Tips for buying natural alexandrite:

1. Trust only natural! When buying an alexandrite gemstone, one must always make sure that he/she is buying a natural alexandrite and not synthetic alexandrite( more commonly known as lab created, man made, lab origin etc). The gemstone should be certified as ‘natural’. People often end up buying synthetic gemstone paying very high price and later repent on their decision. As technology rapidly develops, more and more synthetic alexandrites are flooding into the market, which are becoming increasingly difficult to identify. In other words, natural alexandrites are getting rarer day by day and hence it’s becoming more valuable.

2. Always insist on authentication. Always buy Alexandrite with a certificate, from a reputed gemological laboratory and not just from the dealer who is selling it, mentioning its authenticity. These days it’s very easy to print out a piece of paper and laminate it, calling it a certificate. Many customers get carried away by this laminated and printed sheet .So one must make sure that the certificate is from a reputed source.

3. Quality comes first! Always go for quality rather than quantity. A good piece, though a small one, is any day better than a big gem with lower clarity and colour.

4. Choose the cutting edge. As far as possible go in for a gemstone that is being cut perfectly. Gems that have flat and shallow cut lighten the colour of the stone, where as very deep cut darken the colour so much that the colour change is not prominent as it should be. Always go for the best cut your money can buy!

5. As far as possible dont go for any enhanced gemstones. Gemstones on which enhancements(treatments) are done tend to loose its market value over a period of time as newer and newer enhancement technology comes up. If you know what enhancement is being done on the stone and are sure of its quality then buy it, otherwise buy un treated alexandrites only.

Finally to conclude, if you are a gem lover or collecting gemstones is your hobby, you’ll just love this amazing colour changing gemstone in your collection. An investment you will never regret!

Many people want to know that how are crystals formed? The process by the which the crystals are formed is called the nucleation process. This process can be done in any laboratory or it can be done even in your home if you have the chemicals. There are 2 types of nucleation processess. Assisted nucleation and unassisted nucleation process.

In a solution, the small amount of the chemical, for which the crystals are required, is added. After that it is mixed properly. Now a substance like small stone or a wooden piece is dipped in the solution to assist the process. The solute molecules start attracting toward this wooden piece and start grouping there. As the number of molecules are increased they have more powerful attraction forces and hence attract more and more molecules. In this way the there is pre-crystal formation in the solution. The size of this pre-crystal grows as more molecules are attaching with it. This process is continued till the full sized crystal is formed.

This process is called assited nucleation process as it is done with the assistance of a wooden pieces of a small stones. The process in which there is no need of this assistance, is called assisted nucleation.

As precaution try to keep the solution at the constant room temperature. If the solution is heated, the attractive forces between the solute molecules are weakened and the crystal will be destroyed. So never over heat the solution.

If you want to increase the crystal size, simply add more chemical in the solution. This will result in the increase in the crystal size as these moelcules will be attracted to pre-formed crystal due to its stronger attractive forces.

How To Purchase Gemstones on the Internet

So…you’ve been looking to purchase a quality gemstone on the internet and you need some help determining what characteristics you should be looking for in a quality gem. This article is intended as a resource to help guide you through a successful gemstone purchase by avoiding many of the common pitfalls that some consumers become entangled. These pitfalls can often leave a sour taste in your mouth and make you a little head- shy about purchasing gems of various types online.

I am aware that many people have had bad previous gemstone purchasing experiences, and some, in my opinion, were downright awful. The common themes in their communications include:

*Didn’t really “know” the seller as good as I should have before purchasing my gemstone…

*Color in hand was significantly different than the gemstone image shown online…

*Didn’t read the “fine print” regarding my gemstone purchase…

*Wanted to return the gemstone and the seller charged a hefty re- stocking fee…

*Didn’t understand the importance of clarity,tone, hue and saturation before making my gemstone purchase…

And the list goes on and on… If you have notbeen through an experience like this, either you’re a really web-savvy consumer or you have just been plain lucky. Many gemstone consumers have thrown a lot of their hard-earned dollars into gemstones that are of significantly less value than the money they have spent. This is unfortunate for them and quite disappointing to the “good guys” within the gemstone industry.

How many times have you wanted to know that you are making the correct assessment of a potential acquisition? I have been asked this question frequently and I am amazed that a large percentage of consumers simply do not do the necessary homework before making a buying decision. Certainly not due to the lack of credible resources that are available to the consumer, many people simply let the “want” of an immediate purchase get ahead of their good judgment. Proceed with caution is always the best place to begin.

Let’s start with a generic list of things to consider in the process of making a gemstone purchase. The “generic list” includes such items as the “5 W’s,” namely, Who, What, Where, Why, When. If your inquiry covers several or even all of these questions, you have made a good start in obtaining the necessary information you need in making a wise purchasing decision on your next gemstone.

The Gemstone “Who” and “Where”

Who you are considering doing business with and where they are located can tell you much about a gemstone retailer. Is the gemstone retailer headquartered domestically or are they a foreign company with an online presence? This fact is generally known/disclosed at the time you make payment, but not always. The whole foreign vs. domestic issue is worthy of another discussion altogether, but you need to decide in your own mind what you’re most comfortable with. Some foreign companies use a domestic mail drop to ship their gemstones. On the surface, they appear to be a domestic company, which would willingly submit to FTC rules and regulations, many of which protect you as the consumer, but some foreign companies couldn’t care less about these guidelines. So, it never hurts to ask the question. This will help you to avoid the smoke-and-mirrors game that many foreign sellers implement in their marketing strategy. I know of one company, in particular, marketing gemstones that has many concurrent reincarnations, as I like to call them, on the internet at the same time. They have many websites, all with different looks, and sell essentially from the same inventory. While this type of masked marketing is not in and of itself “bad” nor “dishonest,” it sure makes it difficult to get the answer to these first couple of questions and creates confusion for many gemstone buyers. Who am I considering doing business with and where are they located? You might want to cat around on google a bit to find available information and maybe even get some references. Testimonials and referrals represent a major portion of our business and we willingly share our customer references/experiences on our site to make our reputation “real” for would-be clients. Good stuff! So, understanding who you are about to do business with and where they are located provides you with a foundation of knowledge from which to proceed in the process of obtaining your first/next gemstone.

The Gemstone “What”

The What question may be answered by simply taking a look at the overall quality range of gemstones the retailer is offering on their site. Does the gemstone retailer carry low-grade gemstones, high-grade, or a broad range of quality? This should speak volumes to you. There are many retailers that simply carry the lower grades of gemstones for a cheap price and show out the best of these grades as top-quality stones. When you view the pictures of these stones, you may think you are looking at top color, relative to other gemstones listed, when in fact you may still looking at run-of-the-mill, poorly colored stones that may be slotted a bit higher in the color range than the others. And yes, there are a LOT of these types of stones available for around $300/ct by a growing number of vendors. The statements regarding the quality of this material are often exaggerated and the pictures on these stones may not even be close to representing the actual item. Caveat Emptor, which is a Latin phrase meaning: “Buyer Beware!” Good advice for us all. Other considerations related to What include a thorough understanding of the retailer’s “fine print.”

The Gemstone “Why”

The Why question is really self- explanatory…. because you want to own a quality gemstone. Right? In addition, you probably want to try to understand why the company, whose gemstone you are viewing, is in the gemstone business. What I mean by this is…other than the obvious reason, to sell their product for a profit, do they appear to have a good business interest in the type of gemstone you are considering or does the seller just offer it as another line of gemstones on their site. Your interests would be best served by shopping with a retailer that has a good stake and large general emphasis in the type of material in which you have an interest. This will provide you with your best chance at viewing a nice collection of gems from which to choose and competitive pricing. Additionally, I recommend that you purchase from sellers that are more than happy to work with you on a custom order. If they are hesitant to do this, it may indicate that they are getting their gemstones from other retailers and don’t want to bother with an order like yours because they simply can’t turn it around quickly. It is then possible for you to find yourself purchasing a stone which is only close to what you really desire. Why settle for something “close” when you are getting ready to drop a chunk of hard-earned change on a fancy gemstone for yourself?

The Gemstone “When”

And finally, the When question deals with such inquiries as: When will my gemstone order ship and by what method (carrier)? Are there any extra fees when shipping gemstones? When do you restock your gemstone inventory? When is the best time of year to purchase a quality gemstone? You get the idea. By asking these types of questions, you get to know your gemstone retailer better and can pave the way for a long-term, successful relationship with your gemstone dealer.

In summary, it is important that you have a good understanding of the company from which you wish to make a gemstone purchase AND their quality and price are in keeping with your overall expectations. In our company’s experience, we have found it amazing how much repeat business we have done with our valued clients over the years by simply providing answers to these basic questions.

Hopefully, you will make many wise gemstone purchases in the days, months and years to come. There are many types of gemstones available in the market today and you owe it to yourself to get the facts FIRST before making any additions to your gemstone collection. I encourage you to put this “purchasing model” in place to avoid the common pitfalls and disappointments of making incorrect buying decisions on your next gemstone purchase. Give it a try! You’ll be glad you did.

Being the first day at his job as a assistant manager, John was working hard. It was a busy and eventful day at the store. John had recently earned his gemologist diploma and was working at his first managerial post in this jewelry store. Just ten minutes before the closing time a huge man walked in. He was well dressed and smart looking. He showed an engagement ring to John and said, this ring cost me a lot of money and I want to sell it. He said, make me an offer!

John looked at the ring. A large, impressive affair, the ring had a big white stone in the center surrounded by small, colored stones. The mounting seemed to be of a good quality. But something about the stone did not quite feel right. John noticed that the facets did not quite look sharp enough, and that the stone had an almost imperceptible, greenish tint. Meanwhile, the man was growing impatient. How long does it take for you to evaluate a 1 Carat diamond, he asked.

John remained calm and answered matter-of-factly, Sir, it is not easy to judge the quality of a stone in few minutes. I am going to have a closer look. And he picked up his loupe. He picked up the ring close to the eyes. He caught a glimpse of two facet reflections through the side of the gem’s crown, where there should have been only one.

Right away, John knew that that stone was not a diamond. Can’t you come up with a figure now, the man pressed on. After double checking and making sure, John finally replied, I am sorry Sir, I can not make you an offer on this piece. The stone is not a diamond. Without a word, the man took the diamond and hastily exited from the shop.

Observing all this, one of the sales associates walked up to John and congratulated him. You know, I would not have known. I would have asked him to leave the ring with us. John sighed. Maybe, even the customer had no idea about it either, but I doubt it. And if he had left the piece with us, he would have come back the next day and accused us of switching stones.

That day, John’s product knowledge, quick thinking and confidence had saved the reputation of the store and had protected it from making a loss. It is in situations like these that the practical experience of identifying gemstones can really come in handy. Observation is the key to determining if a gemstone is real or fake. Sometimes a skilled eye and a loupe is all it takes to make sure of a stone’s authenticity.

Here are a few tips which will help you while you practice to become a successful gemologist:

-Always carry your loupe or lens with you wherever you go. You never know when you may need it.

-Make a habit of studying every gemstone with your loupe, even if it is a common gemstone like a citrine or an expensive gemstone like an emerald. Just observe the stone with your loupe. This is the best way of learning about the distinct features of each gemstone- the fractures, the feathers, the inclusions, the color etc.

-When you are studying a gemstone, make it a habit to feel the heft (specific gravity) of each stone by hand. Guess the weight and check it by measuring the stone’s weight on a scale. This is a great way to be able to accurately guess a stone’s weight.

-If you are not sure of the identity of a stone, then do not guess. Just tell the client that it needs more testing and you cannot know that with just the loupe. It is always advisable to avoid making a wrong judgement.

-While you are going to a friend’s house, to the market or anywhere, never ever leave an opportunity to see a gemstone.

-Always keep yourself updated about the latest news about synthetics, treatments and gemstone enhancement techniques in the market.

And most of all, observe and be careful in all your dealings. Keep your wits about you and follow the above mentioned tips and you will soon have the makings of a great gemologist.
