Specialty Definition: Gemstone

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

zh-cn:宝石 zh-tw:寶石

Gemstone is a mineral, rock (as in lapis lazuli) or petrified material that when cut and polished is collectible or can be used in jewellery. Others are organic, such as amber (fossilised tree resin) and jet (a form of coal). Some beautiful gemstones are too soft or too fragile to be used in jewelry, for example, crystalline rhodochrosite, but are exhibited in museums and sought by collectors.

Some gemstones are manufactured to imitate other gemstones, for example cubic zirconia is a synthetic diamond substitute. The imitations copy the look and colour of the real stone but possess neither their chemical nor physical characteristics. However, synthetic gemstones are not necessarily imitation. For example, diamond, ruby, sapphire and emerald can be manufactured in labs, which possess identical chemical and physical characteristics as the genuine article. Artificial corundums including ruby and sapphire are very common and they cost only a fraction of the natural stones. Artificial diamonds are manufactured as industrial abrasives. However, artificial diamonds in gemstone-quality on the other hand are still too costly to manufacture.


A selection of gemstone pebbles: made by tumbling rough rock with abrasive grit, in a rotating drum. The biggest pebble here is 40 mm long (1.6 inches).
Larger version

A gemstone is prized especially for great beauty or perfection. Hence, appearance is almost the most important attribute of gemstones. Their beauty must also be able to stand the test of time; if a gemstone is scratched or crumbled, it loses its value instantly. Characteristics that make a stone beautiful or desirable are colour, unusual optical phenomena within the stone, an interesting inclusion such as a fossil, rarity and sometimes the shape of the natural crystal. It is unsurprising that diamond is prized highly as a gemstone, since it is the hardest substance known and is able to reflect light with fire and sparkle.

In the jewellery industry, gemstones are classified into precious stones and semi-precious stones. Only four types of gemstones are considered precious. They are:

There is a large number of semi-precious stones. These include:

Artificial stones used as gem stones include: Not technically stones, but used in the same capacity: Gemstones are described and differentiated by gemologists by certain technical specifications. First, what is it made of, its composition. Diamonds for example are made of carbon, rubies of Aluminum Oxide, Al2O3. Next, many gems are crystals which are classified by crystal system such as cubic or trigonal or monoclinic. Another term used is habit, the form the gem is usually found in, for example diamonds which have a cubic crystal system are often found as octahedrons.

Gems come in different "varieties", for example corundum is found as ruby, and sapphires of various colors; diamond in various Types; beryl as emerald, aquamarine, bixbite (red), goshenite (colorless), heliodor (yellow), morganite (pink).

Gems have a certain refractive index, a certain dispersion, a certain specific gravity, a certain hardness, a certain cleavage, a certain fracture, a certain lustre. They may exhibit pleochroism of a certain sort, or double refraction to a certain degree and have an optic sign. They may have a certain luminescence and a distinctive absorption spectrum.

Certain material may be present as inclusions. And the gem may occur in certain locations, "occurrence." Gems from different locations may display different characteristics which may aid in identification.

Jewel (singer)

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Jewel Kilcher (born May 23, 1974) is a singer and songwriter. Her birth name is spelled 'Jule,' but was changed for her entertainment career. She is better known as simply Jewel.

Early years

Jewel was born in Payson, Utah, but spent most of her young life growing up in Homer, Alaska, living with her father. The home she grew up in there did not have indoor plumbing, but a simple outhouse instead. She and her father sometimes earned a living by singing in bars and taverns. It was from these experiences she learned to yodel, a quality demonstrated in many of her songs. Her father was a Mormon, but they stopped attending the church shortly before she turned eight.

Jewel learned to play the guitar while on scholarship at the prestigious Interlochen Music Academy in Michigan. She started writing songs at the age of seventeen.

For a time, she was poverty-stricken and lived in her van while travelling about the country. She gained a reputation by singing at the Innerchange Coffeehouse in San Diego, California. It was at these appearances she met the band The Rug Burns, who she often appeared with. For a time she dated Steve Poltz, one of the band's members. Poltz has collaberated with her on several of her songs.

Career

It was at these coffeehouse appearances she was discovered by Atlantic Records. She cut her debut album, Pieces of You, when she was nineteen and it was released in 1995. Some of the songs on the album are were recorded at the coffeehouse. The album stayed on the Billboard Top 200 for an impressive two years, reaching number four at its peak popularity.

Jewel is noted for her song's qualites of stark honesty and soulful introspection. Her songs resist catergorization, but, because of their mostly guitar accompaniment, have sometimes been categorized as folk music or the hybrid class folk-pop. However, her music is mostly recognized as popular music and enjoys wide exposure on a variety of music radio stations.

Besides singing, Jewel has also tried her hand at acting and writing. The first movie she appeared in was in 1999 in Ride with the Devil, for which she received critical acclaim.

Writing is nothing new for Jewel since she has been writing poetry most of her life. She has at least two published works. A Night Without Armor is a collection of some of her poems. Chasing Down the Dawn is a collection of diary entries and musings detailing her life growing up in Alaska, her struggle to learn her craft and life on the road.

In 2003 Jewel underwent a drastic image change with the release of her album 0304. Her video for the debut single Intuition had her cavorting in full dance numbers, often scantily clad in bras and bikinis. The song and video seemed to be intended as social commentary on the state of pop music but it left fans wondering if Jewel had in fact become what she was satirizing.
