Sri Lanka and jewelry
Sri Lanka has long been known for its wealth in precious stones. In fact it was the first information about Sri Lanka came to Europe: "An island where the rivers are full of precious stones." That, of course, is somewhat exaggerated, but the pioneers of the days required good reasons to leave home for years to convince investors and get the sailors to register for the long and dangerous journey. In any case, it is true: Sri Lanka has been blessed with rare earths. Only after the discovery of deposits of precious stones in Madagascar could compete with any country of abundance are in Sri Lanka. But since Madagascar's gem trade is dominated by nationals of Sri Lanka, this does not harm the gem trade in Sri Lanka in the picture any way.Since much has been said about the famous rubies and sapphires, we would like to give an idea of the "new" varieties that recently entered the market mainly through jewel Internet. As for the fact that these rocks are purchased based on the photos, I also added some observations on how these varieties are less popular behave in front of the camera.
Spinel: Spinel comes in a variety of colors, but are not as confusing as the Garnet family. The most popular colors in spinel are blue and red, but will be well violet purple, pink, purple, green or black spinel. They are also equipped with the stars and changes color, but have not yet gained much attention. What dignity to all the spinel is its excellent brightness and durability for jewelry. The king among blue spinel is a rare variety of color rather than iron, but for cobalt. This cobalt spinel is found only occasionally in Sri Lanka (and elsewhere). In shades of red, spinel ruby color as the sky has skyrocketed in price and popularity, followed directly by hot pink and padparadscha. It seems that in recent years has spinel did so in a sometimes barely discernible, sapphire substitute for a variety of stand alone. Therefore, more is not cheap. Even our most remote miners have begun to distinguish spinel as better than other "non-sapphire jewels" and have therefore started to ask much higher prices. However, they remain a relatively alternative reasonable to ruby or sapphire blue. The lesser-known varieties of spinel (purple, mauve, etc) not only provide great visual experiences, but are more likely also a good investment long term. Like sapphire, spinel are very photogenic. They do not lie in color or brightness and are grateful for an object exquisite images. Like all gems, which are sensitive inclusions in lighter shades only.
Garnet: A fair price and full of surprises.
Pyrope: Pyrope is typically described as blood or red wine, although this name refers to the Greek word meaning "fire." Although compliment does not have what is called "fire" a diamond is definitely not as red as it gets. How is it red? If you are familiar with Spanish wines that can take a look at an officer Los Lamos's top 67, which will cost much more than buying a compliment, but it tastes better (no compliment). You can also take blood samples from your neighbor's ox, but also can be a particular course wise. It is said that once upon a time compliment has been more popular and a much higher price. Today is the compliment, behind almandine, the best option if you want a red-red gem significant size without having to sell his family. In the photos, compliment blackish areas often show little shine in the photos. Its color across well, but generally tend to show more orange or brown than they actually have. pyrope darker simply refuse to be photographed still look good in person. They are a fine color on the hunt for bargains.
Hessonite: Hessonite always clearly distinguishable. View through a one hessonite lens and appear to be melting inside, while you can not see anything special without the lens. Fusion? Some gemologists called a treacly "or" swirly appearance, which comes from the inclusions that actually look like a fluid petrified. Hessonite is a wonderful stone in all yellow-orange to red-brown tones. Although not consistent with the literature standard gemology, hessonite is currently in Sri Lanka in garnet red to orange color simply traffic light red. In any case, make exquisite colored gemstones and are a true miracle when viewed under the lens. Hessonite While it is wonderful to see in person struggling with serious problems ahead of the camera. Unfortunately 'treacly "transfers on a photo to' fuzzy '. One has to experience a hessonite live to be able to capture the information hidden in a photo. In general, focus on the color and ignore the blurriness of the photo. If you like the color that will to prove the brilliance in person.
Almandine: Almandine is the most famous variety of garnet in Sri Lanka. Compliment look close, but they are of a more intense red mixed with pink or purple. Although often included with a very fine needle structure (which is a pleasure to see under the lens) with all the fire and brilliance one might wish. In fact, almandine good can be so surprising in a spotlight that you do not want to take your eyes shine again. Almandine is more expensive than the compliment, but still a lot of good compared with the price of a similar emotion in synthetic ruby or ruby. The structure of the needle in almandine tends to get some gas in the photos. However, Almandine is a pleasure to shoot – lightning and the spark that finally and red tones and images transfer. As a compliment, usually almandine color does not vary much between days or tungsten light. Also, as a compliment, tend to show black areas that are not as dark as they appear in reality.
Rhodolite Garnets and raspberry and raspberry are Rhodolite garnet red color with pink and / or purple dye. Both are characterized by their color and different definitions found in time and literature. However, if almandine and pyrope are wine and blood, raspberry rhodolite berries and flowers. They are the Best Deal in town for the adventures of progressive color. Both have excellent brightness and a "juicy" colors set often makes fun of every description in simple terms. Truly appetizing colors: Classification of them sometimes makes me want to run to the market to see if I can find some berries. Both stones can be miraculous and demolition nerves in front of the camera. They are chameleons, between the stones. We have seen the debates raging between the photographer and degree on what is the "real" color. The truth seems to be no truth. But it does not matter much, because these stones always stand your photos.
Color Change Garnet: garnet color change are a rarity exquisite (and I mean rare) in Sri Lanka. In the absence of any gemologist, most traders and miners in Sri Lanka in mind (or wishfully think) any change in an alexandrite garnet and therefore have dollar signs in their eyes when they get their hands on one. Therefore, most garnet color changing alexandrite begin life as but someone somewhere in the supply chain has a bad wake up with them. On the other hand, one must ask why a beautiful garnet changing only 10% of a change due alexandrite pale? That of course is a complex question of market mechanism. If you simply admire the magic of color change, hunting of the last Garnet color change before the deposits are exhausted. Capturing change color in the photos is one of the most difficult tasks on the picture of precious stones. This account not only for the garnet, but also for color changers. It's so hard, I can only warn of very good looking cheap color changers. A change color is completely visible in the photo without photoshop tricks is really rare and will never be cheap (at least not natural stone).
Zircon: Zircon has suffered greatly because of the bad press synthetic stones under the trade name "Cubic Zirconia." In addition, the use of zircon as a diamond cheap rip-off has led many to believe that it is synthetic zircon or some type of forgery. Not! Zircon is a gemstone variety that is much more wonderful to offer all color treated zircon uniform wandering the jewelry market. Zircon is the most brilliant of all gemstones color (only and could be misused as an imitation diamond). His shine and luster is excellent and high birefringence is more unique. Naturally colored zircon can green, yellow, brown, (rarely) blue, (very rarely) red and often colorless. In any color, showing a spectacular fire and magnificent shine. Above all very clean and good sized zircon is known but a rare opportunity for novice collectors and jewelry makers experimental. They offer lovely colors and excellent brightness for every budget. A yellow light zircon is almost as fascinating as a fancy diamond. Sri Lanka has for centuries been the best source of quality zircons gem. Generally, zircons are even better in person than his pictures. The birefringence of zircon is so dominant that it is difficult to photograph clearly. In addition, are often so bright that just seem to reflect light in the image. The brilliance of Zircon is strong and curb the color swatch and the case of zircon, once confident the seller of the photo. Of course, this can be said as a general rule. Do not buy jewelry based on the photos, but in the seller's reputation on the basis of security policy return. Not a pleasant shopping experience if you buy a stone wrong with a great photo that can not be returned.
Aquamarine: Unfortunately, do not have many aquamarines in Sri Lanka. Those we get are colored (untreated, of course) with a greenish blue hue. The most expensive color in Sri Lanka is a heaven blue. In ancient times, the most wanted color in reality (in line with the name) the blue-green. But today the blue sky is higher prices. Even more than among sapphires, aquamarines are usually heated to make it blue. If you have decided to stay with natural gemstones, care for the colors. Personally I think green and blue are very pretty stones make unique. colored stones are notoriously difficult to capture in photos. Especially good luster stone, the light they shed back of the stones tends to override the color of the stone. Therefore, even if one has a tone aqua blue clearly visible in the photo may show almost colorless. Light colors also make inclusions are much more serious in the photo than in reality. Again, not to trust the seller of the photo.
Game: Amethyst is a purple quartz-violet very popular. It is available in fine sizes and colors well, but does not require high prices. A lot of amethyst, citrine is burning, although the original stone is much more attractive. In fact, viewed in color / price ratio, amethyst could compete with garnets. The dark purple to violet cross is simply delicious. Amethyst is no problem in the photos. Amethyst is grateful for the camera and facilitates realistic shots.
Tourmaline: Tourmaline family is the most versatile gemstone. Not only are shown in all colors from brown to pink, but they are also famous for tri-and bi-colored varieties, and rare color changers. In Sri Lanka, rarely find pink, blue and red, but tourmaline are blessed with green, yellow and brown on all mixtures and variation. For those who do not like today's fancy bright colors, tourmaline with its soft autumnal shades offer excellent alternatives. Passing a bi-or tri-color tourmaline in the sun and see her playfully change between reddish brown, yellowish green, soft orange is more delicious! pure Green Tourmaline can be an alternative to the emerald and therefore are often reduced as baguettes and emerald. Tourmaline is available in sizes good, clean and often used as a healing stone. Our prediction is that the tourmaline gain more fame after the recent wave of bright colors has settled. tourmaline colored monkey causes no problem in front of the camera. The color comes out realistic and are not too sensitive to light. colored stones (showing different colors in different areas) are also no challenge. But things are more difficult when dealing with bi-or tri-colored stones. Sometimes it is possible to capture all the colors at an angle. But more often the photographer gets sore fingers and a heart attack before he left to the grader to describe the play of colors in words.
Topaz: Topaz Natural untreated is rarely available, and a many consumers buy all kinds of cheap synthetic materials, citrine or treated and irradiated stones. This has led to much confusion and a devaluation of the topaz original. However, naturally colored topaz is an exquisite rarity and a real collector's item. Colorless topaz (which is often taken as radiated) is a reasonable alternative a white sapphire and a good place to start a collection. The light blue stones found in Sri Lanka are a delicious bright view. Unfortunately, rarely yellow ( "True" topaz) or pink topaz. Topaz color is notoriously difficult to photograph. Topacio, with its natural, light colors, are eclipsed and (as Aquamarine) tend to look colorless, even if the eye catches a nice color clearly. In any case, an untreated Blue Topaz is a magnificent light stone with a glare overcoming many stones much higher price. If you see an amber full picture is very well treated and very photo-shop-forged. If not, it should cost a fortune.
Chrysoberyl: The famous color change alexandrite is a sub-variety of chrysoberyl. Normal chrysoberyls Sri Lanka come to light fully saturated yellow and green well. They are hard and durable and therefore highly prized for jewelry. overall brightness of the light the good and the good are a great alternative to green or Yellow Sapphire. The eye fabulous cat is one of the miracles in the world of gemstones. Fine needle parallel to the light along a path breaking stone in the stone appears a ray moving through of the stone. While garnets, quartz and other varieties may show the same effect, only is properly called chrysoberyl cat's eye. The basic parameters to judge the beam is the definition (look full and clear), position (must be centered) and movement (must be flawless) through the stone. While chrysoberyl facets is easy to catch the eyes of a cat needs a strong single light source to display the radio. This is difficult, without changing the color of the stone to yellow tungsten light. So when buying cat eyes on the website, you must also pay attention to the officers' description and classification of color.
Kornerupine: Kornerupine is a new opportunity for the collector of fine natural color. Until recently, almost nonexistent in the market for gems, kornerupine attention has now found a untreated gemstone singular pleasant tones: soft green color mixed with yellow and brown tones to green forest. According to the court, show some stones of different different colors of angels, but are not as unpredictable as tourmaline (with which is often confused). Although kornerupine has entered the market of precious stones to recently, so far we have always received positive feed back from those who dare to buy this great unknown. Similar to other green stones kornerupine likes to be photographed. When it comes pleochroic effects, things get more difficult. As he cut the stones in color, this should not be too hard.
Diopside: Although soft, diopside has attracted some attention from jewelry makers for its strong but reasonable price greens. Chrome diopside has actually come to be very famous and expensive for its emerald green. However, it is soft and has to be protected in jewelry. In Sri Lanka, which mainly find soft green tones mixed with some bright yellow. Along with kornerupine, diopside make the most exciting new discovery in the world of green gems. Especially the variety of cat's eye seems to have enormous potential as an alternative to more expensive chrysoberyl. Due to their strong birefringence, diopside tends to shades of green out and some scattered light inclusions present stronger than the lens of the sample.
Sinhalite: Sinhalite is the cornerstone of Sri Lanka (with respect to the origin of the name). It is usually found in shades brown or yellow and prices are high in yellow honey. Sinhalite is a rare collector's item that was identified a few decades ago. Although rare in jewelry, has all the qualities to be mounted and would love to see more of it. While color is not too clear, either sinhalite poses in front of the camera.
