GEMSTONES AND BIRTHSTONES
Can you guess what this gemstone is?
Most will think it is a blue sapphire, bit it isn't. It's a blue spinel!
Consider the plight of a layman. You see, it is not easy to say what species a gemstone belongs to by just looking at it.
If one wants to buy a gemstones or a piece of gemstone jewelry for a friend or a relative, he
does not know the right price it will be or how long-lasting it will be. He may have some preferred color, but there are so many stones with the same color. Finally is desperation,
he goes on to choose some other article. That is a pity.
Further, there is the question as to whether he should buy a birthstone for some person for
an event or occasion. Here too the price and quality of the gemstone poses a problem. Are a
ll sapphires (for instance) blue? Are they all of the same strength or hardness. What about scratches? What about the color fading? Will they crack? How will temperature affect them?
Are there more than one birthstone for any month?
Knowledge is power.
I build this website to help you, especially if you are in Houston, with resources that will
help you with the knowledge you will need. I am a gemologist (or, gemmologist) from a
country prolific in gemstones, namely Sri Lanka. I studied hard and became a Fellow of
the Gemmological Association of Great Britain in 1984 and set up my own Gem Laboratory
to test and certify gemstones. I have taught and given advice to very many tourists that visited Sri Lanka who wanted some basic knowledge of gemstones and birthstones. I have helped them choose and buy the best or the most suitable gemstones and birthstones and you can benefit by my knowledge and expertise.
I have access to mines and miners, especially in Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) and India who
will offer you excellent gemstones at fair prices. I am able to advice you either for FREE or at
a MINIMAL COST. Minerals are also available.
