Many of the so-called"rubies" and“sapphires” in Europe's crown jewels are actually spinel. One of history’s most famous gemstones is a spinel known as the Black Prince's“Ruby” a magnificent 170-carat red spinel that currently adorns the Imperial State Crown in the British Crown Jewels. Long believed to be a ruby, this gem was once owned by the Arabian Emirs, who were the rulers of Granada(present-day Spain) In the 14th century, Pedro the Cruel, the king of Castile, under the pretext of negotiations, drew into ambush the Emir Abu Said and ruthlessly murdered him and took the gemstone. The gemstone was given to England’s Edward the Black Prince, heir to the British throne, in return for military service putting down an insurrection raised against Pedro the Cruel. King Henry V then wore the gemstone on his battle helmet during the battle of Azincourt in 1415 A.D.

Iolite was also used by Norse and Viking explorers as a navigational aid, as a properly oriented stone would change color in relation to the direction of sunlight, allowing for crude navigation in the fog-enshrouded northern Atlantic waters where the direction of the sun was otherwise impossible to discern.

Ancient mystical ceremonies in India included the use of the gem as a tool to bring insight and help in the discovery of that which is good, and to make known who or what was the cause of troubles or evil deeds. Medieval alchemists believed tourmaline to be related to the philosopher’s stone, and as such could grant enlightenment, give power over spiritual affairs, reconcile opposites and change base metals to gold. In ancient mythology, tourmaline was found in all colors because it traveled along a rainbow and gathered all the rainbow's colors. Tourmaline occurred in many of the ancient mines that yielded precious gemstones in the ancient world 2,000 years ago, however it was mistaken for(and thus called) emerald or topaz. Here are two exquisitely colored antique pink faceted tourmaline pears from the Southern Urals. Hand faceted by a 19th century Russian artisan, part of an heritage renown for the production of the elaborate gemstones and jewelry of the Czars of Medieval, Renaissance, and Victorian Russia. Pink tourmalines are rather uncommon, probably the most valuable of the ordinary varieties of tourmaline. There is substantially more demand than supply, so thus oftentimes can be quite costly. The color of these specimens have been alternately described as hot pink, neon pink, bubble gum pink, even screaming pink. Let’s just say the color is very in

Originally used in indigenous jewelry, this is a very handsome precious gemstone, with very rich texture and a medium royal blue color. Though in the 19th century this would have been considered a very nice quality gemstone(and priced accordingly) by today’s standards it is rather average. It is by and large near eye clean, though certainly not flawless, and of higher value transparent character as opposed to lower value translucent and opaque sapphires. Though merely average by today’s standards, it is nonetheless exceptional given its history. Of course most sapphire gemstones are anywhere from lightly to heavily included. Though this specimen is much more transparent than translucent, complete transparency is slightly impaired by some very fine colorless crystalline material. Though this fine colorless crystalline material is not noticeable to the unaided eye– and to casual glance simply appears to be a brightly colored blue sapphire of good luster and even color– to close scrutiny.

WEIGHT: 11.45 carats. NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: In Medieval Europe smoky quartz talismans were often engraved with the image of a man in armor holding a bow and arrow. The stone supposedly guarded the wearer and the place where it was situated. A crystal ball of smoky quartz was the scrying or divining tool of choice used by magicians and sorcerers. According to some historical references. Smoky quartz was made into“sunglasses” in 12th century Medieval China, so that judges could use the smoky quartz glasses to hide their facial expressions when they interrogated witnesses. Smoky quartz from the Cairngorm Mountains is the national gemstone of Scotland and has been considered a sacred stone there for millennia, a belief dating back to the Druids and Celts. Other ancient cultures have used smoky quartz, and the Cairngorm Mountains were not the only source of smoky quartz in the ancient world. Much of the smoky quartz in the classical Mediterranean World came from the Swiss Alps. Here's a very uncommon semi-precious gemstone from Victorian-era Scotland. Specifically Mount Cairngorm. Very popular in 18th and 19th century Victorian Scotland, this gemstone is known either as“Smoky” or“Cairngorm” Quartz.

The Achates River in Sicily, though some ancient historians believe that the word agate is derived from the Greek word"Agateес" meaning happy. A famous collection of four thousand agate bowls was accumulated by Mithradates, king of Pontus(an area along the Black Sea of present-day Turkey which was colonized by Hellenic Greeks) is illustrative of the high value the ancient world had for agate. Agate bowls were also popular in the Byzantine Empire, and vast collections of agate bowls became common among European royalty during the Renaissance.

Cronus was the leader and the youngest of the first generation of Titans, the divine descendants of Gaia(the earth) and Uranus(the sky) In ancient Greek mythology Cronus overthrew his father and ruled during the mythological Golden Age, until in turn he was overthrown by his own son, Zeus, and imprisoned in Tartarus. Both to the ancient Greeks as well as to the ancient Romans, who knew him as“Saturn” Cronus/Saturn was a major god presiding over agriculture and the harvest time. His reign was depicted as a Golden Age of abundance and peace. Many linguists and scholars believe that the name sapphire is derived from its association with the planet Saturn(the name can be roughly translated to mean“dear to the planet Saturn” in many different languages) A week-long solstice feast called Saturnalia is believed by scholars to be the basis of the carnival(as in Mardi-Gras) Here's a gorgeous.

Antique 19thC Grand Tour Pietra Dura Plaques & Bronze Snake Handle Ibrik Pitcher
Up for bids is this Antique 19thC Grand Tour Pietra Dura Plaques& Bronze Snake Handle Ibrik Pitcher. This is a very unusual piece that I haven't been able to find anything else like it in my research. This piece was made during the mid to late 19thC in either France or Italy. The piece is in the form of an Ibrik pitcher which means that this piece was made to be sold as a souvenir of the Grand Tour to wealthy people from the Middle East. The pitcher is made of glass and it is covered stylized scrolling leaves. The pitcher has a figural bronze handle which depicts a snake which has branches coming out from his mouth which are covered in leaves. Over the spout is a hinged cover which has a figural leaf attached to it. This piece comes with its original bronze under tray which is engraved with Persian style decorations on the edge and ... morestylized leaves in the center. The decoration on the tray is hand engraved. The pitcher still has its original ground glass stopper. On each side of the pitcher there is a 1 1/4" x 1" pietra dura plaque. One of the plaques depicts a purple pansy and the other depicts a tulip. The pitcher stands 10 3/4" in height and is 8 3/8 from handle to handle. The tray has a diameter of 5 7/8" and stands 3/4" in height. Both pieces are in great condition with just the finial on the lid is bent but that would be an easy fix and also there is a thin crack to the bronze base that was enforced with some sort of cement to keep the split stable. There is also a slight bend to the setting which the pansy plaque is set in. The plaques are free of chips or cracks. This Antique 19thC Grand Tour Pietra Dura Plaques& Bronze Snake Handle Ibrik Pitcher will make a great addition to your collection. Shipping will be $18.25 to anywhere in the USA.
