In fact an ancient legend says that tourmaline is found in all colors because it traveled along a rainbow and gathered all the rainbow's colors. But in the ancient past. It has led to tourmaline being confused with other colored gemstones. Many stones in the Russian Crown jewels(housed in the Kremlin) from the 17th century once thought to be rubies and emeralds are actually tourmalines. As often as tourmaline has been misidentified in the ancient past, it by now should have earned the nickname“the great deceiver” For instance archaeological and historical evidence indicates that tourmaline was most likely known by the ancient Romans, but called other names such as emerald or topaz. Green or"chrome" tourmaline was misidentified in Renaissance Europe as emerald for over a century after its introduction in the seventeenth century.

DETAIL: In the ancient world red spinel was also known as a“Balas Ruby” And was mined in Northwest Afghanistan and Tajikistan, and traded throughout China and Europe. Although history does not document the mining of spinel in Afghanistan until about 750 A.D. it is likely the source for the spinel of the Romans and the rest of the classical Mediterranean. Marco Polo mentioned the famous“Badakhshan” mine which produced this gemstone, describing the gemstone as“Balas Ruby” The name for Badakhshan in the ancient world was“Balascia” from which the name“Balas Ruby” was born. Though spinel is presently less expensive than ruby, it is many times more rare. And despite all of the confusion in Europe over what was spinel and what was ruby, in Burma where both gemstones have been mined for many centuries, spinel was recognized as a separate gem species as early as 1587 A.D.

The materials were cut into thin pieces, polished, and then cut according to the design so that they fit one another without the use of grout. Unlike mosaic techniques, where the placement of very small uniformly-sized pieces forms a design, cosmatesque” pieces were much larger and could be shaped to define large parts of the design. The art form was widely used to decorate floors and small columns on tombs and altars. The art form survived into Renaissance Europe where it was known as“commesso” or“petra dura” In the Italian Renaissance the technique was often referred to as“painting in stone” In Byzantium the same techniques were used to produce inlaid floors.
