Invest In Natural Alexandrite And
Other Colored Gemstones
Alexandrite has a history
filled with mystique and intrigue. One
of the most rare of gems that are found
on our planet, the value of fine quality
natural Alexandrite keeps increasing in
value each year. New deposits of this awesome
gem have been found in India, Brazil, and
several other countries. However, due to
mining conditions and the natural inclusions
usually found in Alexandrite, quality gems
are still rare and hard to find. Khazargems,
with family and close friendships around the world, is able to
make available this gem for investment
and personal enjoyment. Untreated colored
gemstones also continue to increase
in value
as fewer and fewer gem quality stones are
being found.
Many mines have been overworked for years
and
are
producing
limited quantities
of gem quality stones. Others have closed
altogether due to natural disasters and
being completly worked out.
Color-change gemstones are
the rarest of gems. These gems display
one
color in
daylight
and
fluorescent
light
and a different color in soft incandescent
light and candlelight. Alexandrite, a form
of crysoberyl, is the only natural gemstone
to always have
a
color-change although there are other colored
gemstones that can be found (although very
rarely) with color-change.
Because of the scarcity
of new deposits of high quality gemstone
rough,
lesser quality stones are being treated
in new ways
to bring them up to the look that
people love and desire. Unfortunately,
treated gemstones can become brittle
and/or lose their color and luster due
to time, climate, and other
conditions. To the untrained eye, many
new methods of gemstone treatment are difficult
to detect. Even treatments that are permanent
tend to decrease the value of a gemstone.
When buying a gemstone for
investment, a gift, or for your own personal
adornment, it is important to understand
the four C's- Cut, Color, Clarity, and
Carats.
Once
these
are known and you determine the amount
of money you want to invest, go for quality
rather than
size.
A smaller, high quality gemstone will increase
more in value than a larger, lower qualtiy
one of the same type.
Khazargems sells only 1st
grade (top quality) natural Alexandrite
and other colored gemstones. Your purchase
will truly be an investment as well as
a wonder of nature.
