So You Want To Collect Loose Gemstones


By Lee MacRae


The term gemology refers to the art, profession and science of evaluating and identifying rocks known as natural diamonds or loose gemstones. Many people take up gemology as a passionate hobby. They become interested in collecting loose diamonds or loose gemstones. You'll even find some that like to travel to various locations nearby or even different countries to hunt for raw or rough gemstones. Some of them will even tumble or finish off the gemstones themselves. If this hobby interest you read along as we reveal the various aspects of gemstone collecting.


Right at the beginning, what you need is to get yourself some reading material. You want to understand everything there is to know about precious and semiprecious gemstones. The more you understand about gemstones the wiser will be your purchases. You will know exactly what to look for.


First on the list to evaluate is gemstone color. Without a doubt, gemstones are the most intensely colored natural materials you can find. Gemstones are so related to color that they've even become associated with particular ones. Without a doubt you will recognize sapphire blue, ruby red, jade green, aquamarine, emerald green or turquoise. Gemstones become higher in value the closer they come to the natural spectral colors of orange, green, yellow, violet and blue. They become less valuable when they are lighter or darker than the spectral color.


How the gemstone is cut is the second most important factor to look at before a purchase. The preciseness of the cut will determine how much light is reflected by the gemstone. It will fully ultimately determine the stones brilliance and how much someone will pay for it.


Next up is the aspect of gemstone clarity. The aspect of clarity refers to the internal flaws ( known as inclusions) or the outside blemishes of a stone. Larger flaws can be seen with the naked eye while others need a 10X magnification.


Another consideration is the duo of weight and size. Because gemstones can vary in density or specific gravity. Size and weight are not necessarily equal from stone to stone. If a diamond of a certain size weighs 1.00 carats then an equal sized Sapphire would weigh more than 1.20 carats. An emerald stone would be about 0.95 carats and an Alexandrite stone would be about 1.23 carats.


Taking up the collecting of loose gemstones can be a great hobby. And there is a wide range and variety in gemstones you can collect. You could try collecting Malachite, Sugilite Axinite for example. The varieties are nearly endless. And if you like a hands on hobby you can go hunting for raw gemstones. For example in Alaska you can find White Quartz and Jade.
