HEMATITE Stones A common rockforming mineral found in sedimentary metamorphic and igneous rocks at locations throughout the world Luster can range from earthy to submetallic to metallic Large deposits of hematite are found in banded iron formations Gray hematite is typically found in places that have still standing water or mineral hot springs such as those in Yellowstone National Park in North America The mineral can precipitate in the water and collect in layers at the bottom of the lake spring or other standing water Hematite can also occur in the absence of water usually as the result of volcanic activity Clay sized hematite crystals can also occur as a secondary mineral formed by weathering processes in soil and along with other iron oxides or oxyhydroxides such as goethite which is responsible for the red color of many tropical ancient or otherwise highly weathered soils Hematite shows only a very feeble response to a magnetic field Unlike magnetite it is not noticeably attracted to an ordinary magnet 7
JADE Stones A common rock forming mineral found in sedimentary metamorphic and igneous rocks at locations throughout the world It consists mainly of iron a common iron oxide compound Jadeite is most prized in its pure green variety but can be found in many colors ranging from red pink black brown white and even violet with variations of colors overlapping one another In contrast nephrite s color scale is more limited with the most commonly found colors being green to grey green stones white to yellowish stones and yellow to reddish stones The unique properties of jade have fueled the centurieslong fascination with the stone Incredible toughness coupled with a relatively lower hardness grade allows the stone to be carved into magnificent jade jewelry and objets d art This together with the alluring greasy luster and incredible variety of color not found in other gems has made the study of jade a world unto itself The depth of color is enhanced by jade s characteristic opacity which becomes translucent only when carved very thin 9
AGATE Stones With colored gemstones it is usually the color that really determines the price but with agates things are a little different As a rule natural blues and greens are rarer than other colors in agates so they tend to fetch the higher prices but the most expensive gemstones Fire Agates have a dark body with a rainbow of iridescent color on display The blue agates can be the most expensive with the very rare Ellensburg Agates reaching top prices and Blue Lace and Cellmark Agates also being well valued Other agates tend to come in a variety of colors in different patterns and it is the combination of bright colors in interesting patterns that raises the price of these gemstones

Earthly Things The oldest known jewelry in the world consists of two perforated beads made from shells of the sea snail Nassarius gibbosulus These beads were discovered at Skhul in Israel and were recently dated to between 100 000 and 135 000 years ago 1 2 Similar ornaments some made from shells of Nassarius kraussianus and the bittersweet clam Glycymeris nummaria as well as from Nassarius gibbosulus have been discovered at a number of Middle Paleolithic sites and are considered a key piece of evidence for the theory that early anatomically modern humans in Africa and the Levant were more culturally sophisticated than had previously been thought
red coral Precious coral or red coral is the common name given to Corallium rubrum and several related species of marine coral In the trade Corallium rubrum is sometimes referred to as noble coral and is considered to be the most desirable type of coral for jewelry Coral is an organic material and is not an especially hard or durable gemstone In the trade Corallium rubrum is sometimes referred to as noble coral and is considered to be the most desirable type of coral for jewelry It forms from branching antler like structures created from coral polyps in tropical and subtropical ocean waters When the coral polyps die the hardened skeleton remains and this material is what is used as a gemstone Most coral is white but nature can create coral in several other colors including the popular orange to red forms 13
natural shell Shell jewelry is jewelry that is primarily made from seashells the shells of marine mollusks Shell jewelry is a type of shellcraft One very common form of shell jewelry is necklaces that are composed of large numbers of beads where each individual bead is the whole but often drilled shell of a small sea snail Numerous other varieties of shell jewelry are made including bracelets and earrings In recent times inexpensive shell jewelry is often found at tropical beach destinations where it is offered to tourists as informal wear or as a souvenir However shell jewelry has a very ancient past and is of great importance in archeology and anthropology In fact shell beads are the oldest form of jewelry known dating back over 100 000 years
pearls 15 Natural Pearls are among the rarest and most valued of fine gems American freshwater pearls have a history thousands of years old and played a particularly prominent role in the jewelry of the late 19th and early 20th centuries Today though a fraction of its original size the American freshwater pearl industry continues to produce fine material for the jeweler worldwide The source of this pearl is the Unio mussel fished by brailing boats and intrepid divers from the rivers and lakes of America From the Unio in which it grows the American freshwater pearl derives its distinctive shapes and colors A new entry to the American pearl industry is the freshwater cultured pearl
