Juvel

Med juvel avses en slipad ädelsten. Juvel i pluralform, det vill säga juveler, har även betydelsen juvelbesatta smycken. En juvelerare är i första hand en person som tillverkar juvelbesatta smycken, men termen används numera allmänt om alla som tillverkar smycken, med eller utan ädelstenar. Juveler kan vara fasettslipade eller cabochoner.

The Star of India is a 563.35 carat (112.67 g) star sapphire, probably the largest such gem in the world. It is almost flawless and unusual in that it has stars on both sides of the stone. The greyish blue gem was mined in Sri Lanka and is now kept in the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.

GEM Spinel
This stunner is just plain sexy. It is mesmerizing in its beauty: fabulous water-clear red, superb form, and mirror-like luster round out what is likely to be as good a Spinel as you are likely to find. This crystal is nothing less than fantastic. NOTE THAT SPINEL MINING WAS ALREADY DECLINING IN MOGOK, EVEN BEFORE THE RECENT US BAN ON IMPORTS FROM BURMA .8 x .7 x .4 cm

Dioptase (2.16 carat gem)
Thumbnail (2.16 carat). Dioptase gems in sizes above 1 carat are very hard to obtain. Although not totally clean, this is overall mostly transparent, and has an even and saturated color. A beautiful rare gem. A well-cut, rare gem - notable in size - cut by Spectrum Award winner Mark Kaufman. Ex. Charlie Key.

Zircon
Locality: Vietnam
Size: thumbnail, Approx 5.5 mm each; 13.5 carats
Zircon (multi-stone set)
Zircons are one of the most diverse gems when it comes to color. Vietnam has only recently made a significant impact on the world gem trade producing some very fine Rubies along with some very fine Zircons. Typically one associates Zircon gems with the color blue, but Zircon occurs in virtually every color of the rainbow. This set features 14 individual eye clean gems of varying hues, all from Vietnam. The colors range from blue to yellow to orange to red, with shades of pink and copper in other stones. No two stones are exactly the same color, and assembling matching sets of stones like this is not an easy task, especially since all the stones have the same style of round cut, so they match perfectly.

Rhodochrosite
Locality: N'Chwaning Mines, Kuruman, Kalahari manganese fields, Northern Cape Province, South Africa (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: thumbnail, 16.14 x 9.11 mm ; 5.01 carats
Rhodochrosite
These are some of the most recognizable Rhodochrosites in the world for their distinct and vivid flame red color. The N'Chwaning mines along with the Sweet Home mine are the two premier localities for Rhodochrosite in the world. Even though the Sweet Home mine has produced some rather large gems, N'Chwaning rarely forms crystals large enough to cut gems this size. This stone is one of the finest gems from this locality that I have had in my hands in a long time. The color is as intense as Rhodo gets from N'Chwaning. The gem has a Marquise cut, and is only very very slightly included, which is to be expected in a gem this size. A truly impressive collector quality Rhodo gem that would make for a superb "rough and cut" set with a specimen from this mine.
