By Lee MacRae
Why would someone go to the trouble of collect loose gemstones? Well to begin with gemstones are extremely beautiful. And like their more familiar cousin, natural diamonds, they can become extremely valuable over the years. Many people love to collect and show case each and every one of the 150 varieties available. Read long as we discuss the hobby of loose gemstone collecting.
To begin with your first priority is to get yourself some reading material. You want to know as much as possible about your new hobby. The more you learn about gemstones the wiser will be your purchases. You will know exactly what you are looking at.
Color is a subjective idea but a very important part in evaluating a gemstone. The closer the color comes to its purer spectral value the more valuable the stone becomes. Traditional spectral colors include violent, blue, green,, orange and red. Colors that tend to be paler or darker than the pure spectral color are considered a lower value.
The cut of the gemstone is an important factor to consider when you consider a gemstone's value. The gemstone must be cut with precision to reflect the light properly. A poor cut will not reflect light in a consistent way. Tone, color saturation, and color hue will never look consistent.
The next factor to consider is the gemstone's clarity. This refers to the stones purity or the lack of internal inclusions, internal particles or spots within the crystal. Without a doubt, zero flaws will make a gemstone very valuable.
Another consideration is the duo of weight and size. Due to the fact gemstones can vary in density or specific gravity. Weight and size are not equal for each and every stone. If you have a diamond that weighs 1.00 carats an equal sized ruby would weigh 1.20 carats instead. An Emerald of equal size would be approximately 0.95 carats while an Alexandrite gemstone would be about 1.23 carats.
Collecting various gemstones can be very rewarding hobby. And there is such a variety in precious and semi precious stones that you can collect. You can start collecting gemstones like Emerald, Ruby or Axinite for instance. The opportunities are seemingly endless. And if money is tight you can find gemstones for yourself instead of buying. Just in the United States in Hawaii you can find Peridot and Coral.
