If you want to purchase a transparent and fascinating gem, you can get alexandrite. It changes color because when you’re in broad daylight, the stone appears as bright green but when you’re indoors, it is colored raspberry red. It was only in 1831 when this stone was discovered in Russia.
Amber is not actually a gemstone because it is a fossilized tree sap. However, this is highly prized up to now and it can be found mostly in the region of Baltics. If you want to achieve inner peace, you can get amethyst. It is purple in color but it is also available in lighter lavender shades.
Warriors of long ago wore beryl to protect themselves. This gemstone is available in different shades such as pink, yellow, golden, emerald, and aquamarine. This is a durable stone and because of this characteristic, the stone is well known.
Before, garnet was used mainly to stop blood diseases and hemorrhaging. But because of its durability and brilliance, this red stone is a very precious gem. The Chinese people revered jadeite and this stone came from Guatemala and Myanmar. This gemstone is also available in different colors like mottled green, whitish gray, white, pink, mauve, brown, orange, yellow, and lilac.
If you prefer intense brilliance and deep color, you can purchase lapis lazuli. You can find this stone in Argentina, Afghanistan, Chile, Russia, and Canada. Moonstone comes from the family of feldspar. The blue moonstone varieties are far more valuable and desirable than the transparent and milky varieties. If you love the colors of the rainbow, go for opal. This stone can also be found in rare black and this is really valuable.
Topaz is a gemstone that symbolizes affection and love. This is a very rare stone. It is brilliant, hard, and is available in a variety of colors. Most people are unaware that this is a rare stone and often mistakes the glass or quartz imitations as the true stones. In Africa and Asia, turquoise is very precious.
