This is a collection of gemstone related information. Some of these gem stone writeups talk about the history of a gem, others relate the stories and folklore associated with some gem stones. The reason why every gem lover should read these write ups is because, much of the information provided here is not available from other gem providers. For example not many people are aware that emeralds should not be exposed to heat and should not be soaked in soap water. Almost no other gem stone provider would tell you that the color of Kunzite fades over time. Many gem sources sell good looking jadeite at very high prices, but did you know that most of this is jadeite that has been given a color enhancement by color dyeing. The gem stone information on this page will be regularly updated so you should make sure that you save the link as your favorite. Keep coming back and get more of these interesting, useful and amazing pieces of information.
