THE ANATOMY OF A GEMSTONE

CUT: Cut is the only C that is controlled by man — all other characteristics of the natural gemstone were determined by Mother Nature, and the Cut of a gemstone can be the single most important characteristic that determines its value. Two gemstones of the exact same size with similar clarity and color grades may appear dramatically different to the eye, and have significantly different values.

---

GEMSTONE CATEGORIES: The various gem categories (i.e. Precious, Semi Precious, Rare and Museum) are standard classifications based on value and rarity. Precious Gems include those varieties (e.g. Diamond, Sapphire, Emerald, Ruby.) with high market values, while Museum Gems include rare and hard to find varieties of gems in large and small sizes, pieces which are suitable for collections, usually one of a kind pieces. Rare Gems are rarer lesser-known varieties. Many Rare Gems are Museum Gems. Semi-precious gems generally includes everything else that is mainstream.
