 A
gemstone is a mineral, rock (as in lapis
lazuli) or petrified material that when
cut and polished is collectible or can be
used in jewelry. Others are organic, such
as amber (fossilized tree resin) and jet
(a form of coal). Some beautiful gemstones
are too soft or too fragile to be used in
jewelry, for example, single-crystal rhodochrosite,
but are exhibited in museums and sought
by collectors.A gemstone is prized especially
for great beauty or perfection. Hence, appearance
is almost the most important attribute of
gemstones. Characteristics that make a stone
beautiful or desirable are colour, unusual
optical phenomena within the stone, an interesting
inclusion such as a fossil, rarity and sometimes
the shape of the natural crystal.
Cutting and polishing a
gemstone is the all important task that
converts a rough coloured gemstone into
a sparkling, colorful piece of beauty, valued
highly and often, a legacy for generations.
This transformation occurs in three steps:
assorting, cutting and polishing.
Traditionally, coloured
gemstones are classified into precious stones
and semi-precious stones. Semi-precious
stones like (Tourmaline, Peridot, Aquamarine,
Garnet, etc.) and Synthetic stones Like
(Turquoise, Lapis, Corel, Sandstone etc.)
Basically natural coloured
gemstone are found in Brazil, Nigeria, Colombia,
Zambia, Tanzania, Mexico and many Latin
American countries. A number of natural
coloured Gemstones are also found in India.
But the quantities produced in India of
most of the material are not sufficient.
Therefore, in the coloured
Gemstones section too, India has to depend
largely on imported raw material. Jaipur
is India’s second important exporting
center and the first for sales to ‘Foreign
Tourists’ in Coloured Gem stones and
Synthetic stones. The Gemstones export from
Jaipur covers various American countries
like (U.S.A., Canada), European countries
like (U.K, Germany, Italy, France, etc)
and South East Asia like (Japan, Bangkok,
Hong Kong, etc)
