A Natural
Gemstone is a mineral, stone, or organic matter that can
be cut and polished or
otherwise treated for use as jewelry or other ornament.
The gem is grown from a Natural Gemstone “seed”. By
controlling the environment in which the gem is grown,
impurities and inclusions can be avoided which occur in
Natural Gemstones. The Natural Gemstone has perfect
color and clarity which is so highly desired. Most
Natural Gemstone has imperfections due to uncontrolled
growing conditions in nature.
Diamond, corundum (ruby and sapphire), beryl (emerald
and aquamarine), topaz, and opal are generally classed
as Natural Gemstone convert to precious stones. All
other gemstones are usually classed as Natural Gemstone
to semiprecious. It's interesting that there are some
Natural Gemstone man has not been able to synthesize in
a laboratory and not convert into another form, kept a
natural environment. One example is the garnet family of
Natural Gemstone. They have not been able to unlock
garnet's secrets to create it in a lab. It’s behaved
like a Natural Gemstone.
How do I know if the gemstone is Natural Gemstone,
synthetic gemstone (created), or a stimulant gemstone?
If you can't tell by your own examination...ask! A
reputable dealer or jeweler will be honest about the
origins of the stone. If they don't know or won't say,
then don't buy! |
