Maintenance methods for 8 colored stones

Colored gemstones are one of the most beautiful treasures in the world. The colorful colors have always fascinated countless people, and the usual maintenance and care are also in order to maintain the brilliance of the gemstones.

Tourmaline

It is a gemstone with a soft gloss, but the disadvantage is that it has a lower hardness and a stronger brittleness. Therefore, wearing jewelry made of tourmaline, should be careful not to rub against other gems, so as not to scratch. Tourmaline has thermoelectricity (the so-called tourmaline), which generates static electricity and absorbs some fine dust after being exposed to the sun or heated. Therefore, people working in a dusty environment should be careful to clean the gemstone with a neutral cleaning solution such as alcohol to keep it shiny and feminine. At the same time, tourmaline should also avoid overheating, because heat can sometimes change the color of the tourmaline.

Topaz (topas stone), moonlight gemstone

They should avoid collisions because both have textures, and after collision, the gemstones are easily split in one direction and destroyed in whole or in part.

Spinel, garnet

They are medium-quality gems, and generally only need to be careful not to collide with each other.

crystal

Avoid contact with radioactive materials and avoid contact with heat sources. Crystals will change color under radioactive illumination, and amethyst may appear lighter when heated.

Red, sapphire

They are the most easily protected gemstones of colored gemstones. These two gemstones have high hardness, medium toughness and stable properties. They can be worn for a long time as long as they do not violently collide and avoid high temperatures.

Emerald

It is a brittle gemstone, and natural emeralds tend to be blemishes and prone to rupture, so avoid strong crushing and collision. Immersion or incorporation of glue to mask the cracks in the crucible is a common method of treating emeralds. This accessory must avoid overheating.

Gold emeralds (including marbles and cat eyes)

It is a gemstone with good hardness and toughness, so it is an ideal male gem. Generally, it is only necessary to avoid high temperature during the wearing process, especially when changing the style or maintenance, do not let the flame directly face the gem.

Zircon, olivine

They cannot be placed with other gems. Zircon and olivine are gemstones formed in the underground high-temperature environment. They are brittle in nature and have low hardness. Therefore, it is often difficult to make large gemstones due to too many cracks in the raw materials. The mutual friction between the finished gemstones will sharpen the edges of the gemstones and cause the gemstones to lose "sharpness." These two stones can't be heated, and heat will increase their brittleness. Olivine is also afraid of acid, and long-term contact with acidic substances will cause the surface of the gem to corrode and weaken its luster.
