An Introduction

"Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder"

Gemstones & Diamonds are amongst the rarest and most desirable materials of our planet. 'Natural Gems' are inorganic minerals or organic substances with few distinct features such as Beauty, Rarity, Durability, and Acceptability which make them precious. These features are essential in a substance to name it a 'Gem'. Gemstones of various colors, forms, and shapes are used in astrological, contemporary, traditional & talismanic jewelry.

History of Natural Gemstones

"How are gemstones formed?"

Natural gemstones are formed through natural processes within the earth's crust taking millions of years to grow. They are formed only when all conditions to form a specific gemstone are satisfied naturally through coincidence when many natural elements and minerals are assembled at a certain temperature and pressure followed by slow cooling. Every natural gemstone undergoes this process and involves great human effort in finding these sources and mining them, extracting them from ore, and shaping them for you.

Why Rare? Gemstone deposits are not found all over the world but they are discovered only in few locations. Out of the total gemstones extracted, approximately, only 1/100th is of Gem Quality and out of these less than 5% are more than 3 carats. Thus finding a clear-transparent (not included) and beautifully colored gemstone is very rare.
