By Lee MacRae

Many people have a great love Of the assorted number of gemstones you can find just about everywhere in the world. Read long as we look at a number of factors you should understand when starting this interesting gemstone hobby.

The very first step in beginning this hobby the wise way is through the power of knowledge. By taking a look in your local bookstore you can find everything you need to know that will prevent you from making mistakes at the start.

Number one to look at is the color of the gemstone. Gemstones at the top of the ladder exhibit colors similar to the purest spectral colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue or violet. Muted gemstone colors or on the dark side can lower the value.

The cut of the gemstone is the second most important factor to consider before a purchase is made. The precision of the cut is the factor that determines the amount of light the stone will reflect. It will fully determine the brilliance of the stone and how much it will be valued.

The next factor to look at is the clarity of the stone under consideration. This is talking about the gemstones purity with no internal conclusions, particles or spots inside the crystal. Needless to say, stones with no flaws would make the gemstone highly valuable.

Next to consider are size and weight. Save for pearls and corals, all gemstones are valued by the unit called the carat. One carat is the equivalent of 0.2 grams You should know however that size and weight and gemstones are not the same. Density or specific gravity can very. Take a diamond that is 1.00 carats in weight and you will find that a similar sized sapphire or ruby weighs out at 1.20 carats.

Collecting various gemstones can create an enjoyable hobby and pastime. And there is such a variety in gemstones you can collect. You could try collecting Diamond, Spinel or Kornerupine and then try others. The varieties are nearly endless. And if you like to save money but love vacations you can go gemstone hunting and find the raw materials instead of buying them.

The weight of a diamond is measured in carats (ct.). Each carat is divided into
100 points. For example: 1ct.= 100 points, 1/2 ct. = 50 points. Points in a
fraction are measured within acceptable ranges. For example: a 1/2 ct diamond
pendant may have a range of + or - .06 points. In other words, the total diamond
weight may vary from .44 to .56 points and still be considered a 1/2 carat.
