Eight colorful maintenance methods

Colored gemstones are one of the most beautiful gems in the world. Colorful colors have always fascinated countless people, and the usual care and attention to nature are also essential in order to maintain the brilliance of gems.

The tourmaline is a kind of gemstone with soft luster, but its disadvantage is its low hardness and strong brittleness. Therefore, to wear jewelry made of tourmaline, you should be careful not to collide with other gems to avoid scratching. The tourmaline is thermoelectric (so the tourmaline is known). After sun exposure or heat, static electricity is generated and some fine dust is absorbed. Therefore, people working in a dusty environment should pay attention to the frequent use of alcohol and other neutral cleaning fluids to clean the gemstones in order to maintain their luster. At the same time, tourmaline should also avoid overheating, because heat can sometimes change the color of tourmaline.

Topaz (Topaz Stone), Moonstone Gems They should avoid collisions because both have textures, and after impact, the stones are easily split in one direction and destroyed in whole or in part.

Spinel, garnet They are medium-hard stones, generally only need to be careful not to collide with each other.

Crystals avoid contact with radioactive materials, try to avoid contact with heat sources. Crystals change color when exposed to radiation, and amethyst may fade when heated.

Red and sapphire These are the most easily protected gemstones in colored gemstones. These two gemstones are hard, tough and of moderate toughness. They can be worn for long periods of time as long as they are not subjected to violent collisions and high temperatures.

Emerald It is a brittle gem, and natural emeralds often have flaws that are prone to breakage, so avoid squeezing and collisions. Oil soaking or gluing to hide the cracks is a common method of treating emerald. This kind of jewelry must avoid overheating.

Gold emeralds (including alexandrite and cat's eyes)

It is a gemstone with good hardness and toughness, so it is an ideal male gemstone. Generally only need to avoid high temperature during wear, especially in the reformed style or maintenance, do not let the flame directly facing the gem.

Zircon and Peridot They cannot be put together with other stones. Zircons and olivines are gemstones formed in underground high-temperature environments. They are brittle and have low hardness. Therefore, it is often difficult to make large gems due to too many cracks in raw materials. The mutual rubbing between the gemstone finished products will grind the corners of the gem and cause the gemstones to lose their “spirit.” The two gemstones are also not hot, and they will increase their brittleness when exposed to heat. Peridot is still afraid of acid, and long-term contact with acidic substances will cause the surface of the gemstone to be corroded and weaken its luster.
