Gemstones are one of the wonders of the world. These colorful glittering stones have fascinated people throughout the ages, and their natural allure was enhanced by the craftsmanship of the artisans who had learnt to polish them. Throughout history, they have been coveted not only as ornaments for both men and women, but also for their healing powers, magical and mystical properties, and given their rarity and durability, as a mean of accumulating wealth.
The great desire for these gem led to increased attempts to mine them in all corners of the globe, and so more and more new varieties of gemstones have become known to us.
