Gemstones Online and their Types

Gemstones have been of greater value in terms of jewellery and adornment. For years, the gemstones are being sold off in the physical markets. Physical markets allowed to test the gems’ qualities. But the physical market restricted the availability of few of the rarest gemstones. This problem got solved with the introduction of e-markets in recent years. The online business has allowed easy access to all the variety of the gemstones at given prices. The prospective buyer can search from a wide catalogue available and buy gemstones online easily.

Jasper Gemstone – The word jasper comes from the old French term ‘jaspre’ meaning spotted or marked stone. Jasper is an opaque gemstone and belongs to the Chalcedony mineral family. It is usually found in red or brown colour but it can also be grey, blue, white, yellow, orange, pink, and green hue. It is one among many gemstone varieties of quartz that are available today. It is often modified by other intruding impurities. It is a planetary stone for mars and is associated with an element of fire. Thus, it plays an important role in the astrological front with its metaphysical abilities that usually depend on the colour of the specimen.

Aquamarine gemstone – it is a light blue coloured, highly transparent, semi-precious gemstone of Beryl mineral family. It is usually clear, but iron content gives it its blue/green colour. It is the birthstone for the month of the march. It has got its name from a Latin word for seawater. It is said to have countless positive effects on the wearer not only in ancient times but also in modern times. It is considered as the healing stone for mental as well as physical afflictions. It carries a pleochroic effect as its colour can vary when looked from different angles.
