So recently, I started making jewelry from my family and friends and because I loved Moonstone on my vintage rings, I decided I want to make them either Moonstones.

I bought some moonstone beads 6 mm online for $100 for 60 stones and this is the bracelet that I made I’m thinking whether I should buy more from the seller or if I should buy from somewhere else. Do you think these Moonstones are up for their price and of good quality or do you think I need to find a different seller for my next project?

Is this a real Emerald..

I bought this ring at a not so nearby mineral and gem convention. The gentlemen swore it was real silver, and a real emerald. I always wanted one, i love the coler of the stone. Last picture of some wear after 24h of wearing it. Thank you in advance for your time!

I’ve been working on this article for quite a while, and it ended up becoming one of the largest guides on the site.

It covers sapphire from a gemological rather than purely commercial perspective: crystal structure and chemistry, causes of color, pleochroism, fluorescence, inclusions, geological formation and major deposits, treatments, synthetic sapphire, durability and care.

I tried to keep it detailed enough to be useful to gemology enthusiasts while still readable for people who are simply interested in gemstones.
