NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: There are ancient references to ametrine from Persian. Roman, and Greek sources. Anecdotal evidence seems to suggest an ancient source of ametrine in India, and indeed ametrine was(re)discovered recently in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh near Hyderabad, an ancient city which was a trading center on the camel caravan route which crossed to Persia and Europe on one side, and China and Russia to the other side. There is also evidence of a medieval source of ametrine in Scotland, perhaps in the general vicinity of the Devonian lava beds in Angus, Scotland. However ametrine first became famous in the modern world in the seventeenth century when a Spanish conquistador received it as a dowry when he married a South American Indian princess. Ametrine was subsequently introduced to Europe through the conquistador's gifts to the Spanish queen. Celebrating this historicallegacy here is a very large.

And as an aid finding a suitable match for marriage. Citrine was also an export trade good, which traveled from Southern India to ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt. The first mention of citrine in ancient Mediterranean sources comes from the fourth century B.C. Greeks. The Greeks and Romans used citrine for intaglios and in jewelry as well during the first and second centuries. The gemstones would reach Rome and Greece either via the Silk Route(if overland) or if by sea, they would have crossed the Arabian and Red Sea by ship, then overland to Alexandria in Egypt, before being distributed by trade across and around the Mediterranean.

All measurements approximate. WEIGHT: Approximately 1.56 carats. NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: One variety of andalusite was known in the ancient world as“lapis crucifer” Or“chiastolite” These gemstones, translucent to near-transparent, contain inclusions of graphite which almost always are in the form of a cross when the gemstone is cut into cross-sections(like a log or sushi roll cut into slices) Though particularly popular as a religious amulet, the“lapis crucifer” gemstone was also popular with the general population of Medieval and Renaissance Europe as well. In Brittany(France) these crystals were worn as a talisman. Local folklore held that the gemstones had dropped from the heavens. If a“lapis crucifer” talisman was worn suspended from the neck, it was thought to cure almost any kind of fever, and the divine symbol it bore served to drive away evil spirits from the vicinity of the wearer. Here’s an extraordinary. Transparent multi-color gemstone grade andalusite from the Ural Mountains of Southern Siberia(Russia) Like alexandrite, andalusite is a relatively rare gemstone which is best known for displaying multiple colors ranging from yellow and orange through red and green.

NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstone as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: Rubies were amongst the earliest gemstones traded by mankind. Since the 5th millennium B.C. From the most ancient times all the way through the medieval world, ruby was worn by the classical Mediterranean civilizations(Greeks, Romans, Persians, and the Indo-European“Celtic” peoples) as an amulet for protection from lightening, plagues, poison, sorrow, and evil spirits. The ancient populations of the Mediterranean also believed that the color of a ruby would change mirroring changes in the health of its owner, and that the color would drain from a ruby at the moment its owner died. The Bible makes numerous mentions of ruby, first as one of the twelve precious stones created by God when he created mankind. Ruby is then described as“the lord of gems” when one was given to Aaron on the command of God. In the classical world, rubies from Afghanistan, Ceylon, and Burma were traded in the ancient port cities of the Eastern Mediterranean(often by Phoenicians) and from there traveled throughout Europe. Celebrating our cultural inheritance here's an absolutely exquisite.

SIZE: 6) 2½mm Rounds. 6) 2mm Rounds. All measurements approximate. WEIGHT: 0.73 carats(combined weight) 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" and the bright rainbow collections of gemstone varieties which the Dutch purchased were called"turmali" parcels. 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. Tourmaline was also used by medieval shamans who regarded it a“receptive stone, which means it was thought to promote meditation, spirituality, wisdom and mystical powers. Here are twelve exquisitely colored handcrafted faceted pink tourmaline rounds from the Southern Urals. The gemstones were hand crafted and faceted by a Russian artisan. Part of a centuries-old 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 intense, and quite vibrant.

Geologists say that the best estimate is that the mine will be exhausted within the next 15-20 years, and it is believed extremely unlikely that significant deposits exist elsewhere on earth. Since its introduction in 1969, tanzanite has become the most popular gemstone in the world after diamond, ruby, sapphire, and emerald. Here are two very pretty purple-blue tanzanites from Tanzania faceted into these beautiful oval cut gemstones.
