Colored stones and their characteristics
The weight of a gemstone is measured in international trade in carats, grains, mommes or grams. However, the most relevant properties of a gemstone are its optical characteristics. These include, for example, color, luster, luminescence , fire, light refraction, transparency and fluorescence .
However, gemstones usually only reveal their full beauty when they are cut and polished. A suitable cut not only gives the gemstone a certain shape, but also optimizes its light reflection and shine. The interplay of color, shine and play of colors makes most gemstones something very special. Inclusions are often not seen as "flaws" but as a unique feature of the respective gemstone.
There are several hundred different types of gemstones. Well-known gemstones include sapphire, emerald, ruby, tourmaline and amethyst. Most people are also familiar with the gemstones citrine, beryl, aquamarine, iolite, moonstone, morganite, peridot, topaz and opal.
The meaning of gemstones
Gemstones have always been coveted by people. They used to be considered status symbols reserved only for the wealthy. Today, gemstones are worn less to demonstrate wealth and more for personal enjoyment.
Colored gemstones can also be found in most world religions. In both Judaism and Christianity, certain objects have always been set with gemstones. Colored stones are also used to decorate buildings or equipment in other major religions.
Of all the precious stones, diamonds are actually the only ones that are suitable as an investment and thus as a stable way to secure assets, as they enjoy international recognition for their natural material value.
