2 Celtic Sunshine 19thC Antique Scotland Orange Citrine Gemstones

Here are two very nice, very clean, very colorful citrus orange citrine semi-precious gemstones from the Devonian lava beds found along the coast of Angus Country, Scotland. The gemstones were hand crafted and 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. The faceted cut is a coarse precursor to what eventually became known in the industry as a“brilliant cut” round, the contemporary finish generally given to round diamonds. Very popular in 18th and 19th century Victorian Scotland, citrine has remained a very popular gemstone through the 20th century. These are very fine, bright citrus orange colored semi-precious gemstones. Citrine was often found within the deposits with"smoky" streaks, as was"smoky" quartz, the result of eons of exposure to natural radiation emanating from granite stone the citrine is exposed to while buried in the earth.

Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: Most ancient Mediterranean cultures. Including the ancient Romans, Greeks, Persians and Celts believed that amethyst would protect against becoming intoxicated, and would protect soldiers from harm in battle. Amethyst is described in the Bible(Exodus 28:19; 39:12) as one of the 12 stones adorning the breastplate(hoshen) of the high priests of Yahweh. Legends of the ancient classical Mediterranean attribute the Amethyst's lovely ... morecolor to the Greek God Bacchus(the god of wine) Here are two very pretty, very clean, 19th century faceted amethyst squares from the Devonian lava beds found along the coast of Angus Country, Scotland. Very popular in 18th and 19th century Victorian Scotland, amethyst has remained a very popular gemstone through the 20th century. The gemstones were hand crafted by a 19th century Russian artisan into these sparkling faceted gemstones full of flashes of fiery brilliance. Czarist Russia, fabled land of such master jewelers as Faberge, was of course known throughout the Renaissance and Victorian worlds for its elaborate and costly jewelry. These are two very fine, richly colored semi-precious gemstones. Gorgeous, vibrant, and vividly hued, these striking semi-precious gemstones are of very high quality and possess breathtaking luster.

Scotland, known as"cairngorm" and since ancient times has been a favorite ornamental gemstone. It is the national gemstone of Scotland and has been ... moreconsidered a sacred stone for millennia, a belief dating back to the Druids. Many ancient cultures attributed many mystical properties to quartz crystals. They were particularly used in sorcery, magic, and witchcraft in part due to the"secret magical powers" evidenced by the weak electrical charge quartz crystals carry. Here are two very uncommon semi-precious gemstones from Victorian-era Scotland, specifically Mount Cairngorm. Very popular in 18th and 19th century Victorian Scotland, these gemstones are known either as“Smoky” or“Cairngorm” Quartz. Generally“crystal” clear, the smoky tone is caused by the natural radiation emanating from granite stone the quartz is exposed to while buried in the earth.

2 Antique 19thC Ceylon Ruby Ancient Celtic Magic Amulet Gemstones
Two Antique 19th Century Genuine Natural Good Quality Marquise Faceted Ruby Precious Gemstones from Ceylon. ORIGIN: Ceylon. 19th Century. SIZE: Length: 5mm. Width: 2 1/2mm. Measurements approximate. WEIGHT: 0.24 Carats(the pair) NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: Ruby was worn by the ancient Mediterranean civilizations as an amulet for protection from plagues. Poison, sorrow, and evil spirits. Both the Greeks and Indo-Europeans(Celts) believed that the“heat” evidenced by the intense, red color was fire from within the gemstone, capable of boiling water or melting wax. Here are two very nice quality 19th century antique hand faceted marquise cut ruby precious gemstones from Ceylon(present day Sri Lanka) Both are relatively eye clean, of higher value character ... moreas opposed to lower value translucent rubies. Of course most ruby gemstones are anywhere from lightly to heavily blemished. Most completely transparent rubies you see offered today at retail are synthetic. While this particular pair might not be absolutely flawless, to casual scrutiny they are at least near eye clean, and are definitely at the higher end of the quality spectrum. At magnification(such as these 5x images here) they are seen to possess a modest number of very faint blemishes composed of colorless crystalline material. Nonetheless, they both possess the much sought after bright blood red color which has captivated mankind for eons. To the trained eye the photo enlargements will literally shout that the gemstones have been hand-faceted. The coarseness of the 19th century faceting is considered appealing to most gemstone collectors, and is not considered a detriment. Unlike today's computer controlled machinery, the cut and finish of a gemstone such as this is the legacy of an artisan who lived two centuries ago. Such antique hand-faceted gemstones possess much greater character and appeal than today's mass-produced machine-faceted gemstones. These gemsto

2 Antique 19thC ¾ct Tourmaline Ancient Gem of Rainbows
Two Exquisite. Antique, Nineteenth Century Briolette Cut Hand Faceted Genuine Natural Siberian Three-Quarter Carat Green“Chrome” Tourmaline Semi-Precious Gemstones. Mounted into contemporary high quality 14kt French hooks. CLASSIFICATION: Briolette Cut Green Siberian Tourmaline. ORIGIN: Ural Mountains of Russia. 19th Century. SIZE: Length: 6mm. Diameter: 5mm. WEIGHT: 1.74 carats(the pair) NOTES: Other setting styles(euro clicks. Lever backs, kidney wires, ball/stud dangles) are available upon request, both in 14kt solid gold and in 14kt gold fill. DETAIL: In ancient mythology. Tourmaline was found in all colors because it traveled along a rainbow and gathered all the rainbow's colors. In fact the name tourmaline comes from the Dutch traders who purchased gemstones from the Celanese(i.e. Ceylon or Sri Lanka) The word"turmali, meant"mixed" ... moreand the bright rainbow collections of gemstone varieties which the Dutch purchased were called"turmali" parcels. Here are two exquisitely colored, antique hand faceted green(chrome) tourmaline briolette cut semi-precious gemstones from the Ural Mountains of Russia. Though the country best known for green tourmaline is Tanzania(and to some extent, Brazil) the Ural Mountains of Russia have been producing green chrome tourmaline for centuries. In fact, many of the Russian crown jewels are tourmaline. In the Victorian Age tourmaline was enormously popular not only in Russia, but throughout 18th and 19th century Europe. These particular gemstones were hand cut and faceted into somewhat coarse briolettes, an old fashioned cut reflecting their heritage. Land of the fabled jewelry of the Czars, Russia was renowned for its production of elaborate(and costly) jewelry throughout Victorian Europe. Chrome tourmaline is rather uncommon, probably the rarest of the ordinary varieties of tourmaline. There is substantially more demand than supply. So thus oftentimes can be quite costly. It is called“Chrome” Tourmaline because it is traces of chromium which gives the ge

Here’s a gorgeous, vibrantly colored natural peach colored sapphire precious gemstone from the Ural Mountains of Russia. Depending upon the light, the color of the gemstone ranches from peach to pink. The gemstone was hand crafted and 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.

DETAIL: ... moreDue to its yellow green color peridot was known in the ancient world as the"gem of the sun" It was mined on St. John's Island(also called“Zebirget” or“Zabargad” in the Red Sea. Off Egypt, as early as 1500 B.C. In the ancient world peridot was also believed to afford protection against the“evil eye” that ancient belief that some evil sorcerers or witches had the ability to transmit evil with just a glance. The Roman Historian Pliny in his"Natural History" circa 70 A.D. mentions both the island as well as its gemstones, referring to the Red Sea Island as"Chitis" The ancient Romans knew peridot as“emerald of the evening” and wore it for protection against enchantments, melancholy and illusion. Here is a pair of absolutely gorgeous, lime green peridot semi-precious gemstones originally from Burma.
