Quartz Jewerly
If
you gaze deep into a crystal ball, you will see a versatile gemstone,
one of the most popular gems on earth. Beautiful quartz, the 'rock
crystal' used in ancient times to make crystal balls and bowls, is
today more often seen set in gold jewellery. Despite the popularity of
quartz gems like amethyst, citrine, ametrine, rose quartz, onyx,
agates, chrysoprase, rutilated quartz and other varieties, many people
in the jewellery industry take quartz for granted because of its
affordable price.
Throughout history, quartz has been the common chameleon of gemstones,
standing in for more expensive gemstones ranging from diamond to jade.
But the incredible variety of quartz is now beginning to be appreciated
in its own right.
Purple to violet amethyst and yellow to orange citrine are jewellery
staples that continue to increase in popularity. Ametrine combines the
appeal of both amethyst and citrine, purple and yellow in one gemstone.
Different colours and types of chalcedony, from agate to chrysoprase,
have grown in popularity with the growing appreciation for carved
gemstones and artistic cutting and carving. And unusual specialities
like drusy quartz, with its surface covered by tiny sparking crystals,
and rutilated quartz, which has a landscape of shining gold needles
inside it, are adding variety and nature's artistry to unusual
one-of-a-kind jewelry. Info taken from gemstone.org.
