What are the types of colored stones?

Colored gemstones, also known as colored gemstones, formerly known as ColoredGemstone or ColoredStone, are the general term for all colored gemstones except diamonds in the gem family. A colored gem is not a gem, but a type of gem composed of dozens or even hundreds of gemstones.

What are the types of colored stones?

Traditionally, the international gemstone industry has divided colored gemstones into two categories: Precious Stones and Semi-precious Stones. Traditionally recognized "precious stones" include: rubies, sapphires, emeralds, cat eyes, and the like. These four gems and diamonds are called "the world's five rare gems." Gemstones commonly referred to as "semi-precious stones" include: amethyst, citrine, topaz, tourmaline, aquamarine, garnet, peridot, obsidian morganite, tanzanite, zircon, lapis lazuli, grapevine , moonstone, coral, opal, variegated, apatite, etc.

However, in recent years, due to the expansion of market demand, the price of traditional “semi-precious stones” has been rising, and the application of new processing technologies has caused low-grade “precious stones” with downward price extensions in “precious stones” (such as Diffusion of sapphires and filled rubies), thus making the price limits of "precious stones" and "semi-precious stones" in the traditional sense begin to become somewhat blurred. In addition, many experts also believe that gemstones, regardless of their price, as long as they are beautiful and natural, should be called gemstones and should not be described in terms of "semi-precious stones" with a certain derogatory classification. Therefore, we combine some experts' opinions and propose a new colored gemstone classification method for gem lovers:

The price of a carat is generally no more than one. One hundred dollars.

Finally, no matter how the colored gemstones are classified, the classification is just a reference for understanding the gemstones. Regardless of which category a natural gem belongs to, as long as you like it after you have seen it, or if it feels particularly suitable for you, then you should cherish and grasp the fate between you and nature, put this gem Become your favorite accessory or collection.
