Diamond jewelry
is
probably the number one. As
with other gems,
diamond weight
usually is stated in carats.
People
treat diamonds for several reasons,
but usually it is to push up the
value, by heating to enhance
clarity, crack fillings etc.
The
problem is it looks good at the
beginning but fads away after some
years and then the precious stone
which has been bought for a high
price has no value anymore.
Sapphire for Jewelry
Sapphires
with various colors are mined at
Mogok Myanmar or Burma, Australia
and other countries. Sapphires is
composed of varied hues such as
blue, white sapphire, green, yellow,
purple and pink sapphires etc.
Dichroism is the distinctive aspect
of Myanmar's sapphires and rubies
and sapphires which are mined at
Mogok.
Probably
the most interesting of this type of
precious stones are star rubies and
star sapphires. The world's largest
'Star Sapphire' was dug up from
Mogok in 1972. The 63000 carat stone
has a dimension of (27" x 6.75" x
14.25"). Particular pretty is a pink
sapphire, almost similar to pink
diamonds. Sapphires are corundum
that's the same mineral as rubies, the only difference
is the color. Since this are very
hard stones only next to diamonds in
terms of hardness they are used for
various industrial purposes such as
bearings for watches and more.

Gemstone
minerals and manipulation
Heat treatment
of rubies
is a very old and well known
procedure, although it should be told
to the buyer that this
enhancement has taken place, not
informing is cheating. The ruby is not heat treated a
second time, after one treatment,
its color can neither improve nor
diminish. This may surprise those who
think that heat treatment is a Thai
innovation of the past few decades.
Interestingly, the method Tifaschi
describes is reminiscent of
so-called primitive heat treatment
procedures used today in Thailand.
It is, moreover, safe to assume that
similar techniques were employed for
centuries on the Island of Gems
means Sri Lanka; Sir
James Tennent, the author of
|
| |
|
|
the
Victorian classic, Ceyn, records
that the Singhalese remove the blue
tinge of ruby "by enveloping the
stone in the lime of a calcined
shell and exposing it to a high
heat." Teifaschi was not the first Arabic writer to discuss heat
treatment. Two hundred years earlier
a scientist named al-Biruni spoke of
it in a probable reference to red
spinel.
