Names of Gemstones
I have found the subject of gemology fascinating since I was a child. I have always collected "magic" gemstones in one form or another and I must add, it's usually in the form of jewelry! The science of gemology is so mysterious, intriguing and extremely extensive. The fact that some living gemstones take millions of years for mother earth to create is so exciting and interesting to read about. Each gemstone tells a different story, so I hope you'll enjoy reading about them. It's also very important to be well informed about a gemstone before purchasing them. Remember, you'll get more "bang for your buck" with a little research. Be sure to visit my store Jewelry! Jewelry! Online! I have lots of handmade ethnic jewelry made with pure, natural gemstones. The store is young, but I add items weekly, so keep checking back.
Gemstones are one of the major components of handmade ethnic jewelry and by studying the lay of the land and the gemstones available, you can also understand how many of the ethnic jewelry design came about. If you need further information on these "magic gemstones" please contact me and if I can't answer your question, I'll certainly find someone who can.
