According to legend, the brilliance and beauty of precious stones was given by the insidious Satan in order to arouse greed and temptation in human hearts.
However, scientists are skeptical about this legend, arguing that noble stones were formed as a result of chemical processes that occurred during the formation of the earth’s crust. But be that as it may, gems have always been a wonderful decoration, surprising and delighting with their extraordinary color and brilliance.
Although stones, like everything else, also had their own fashion. The Egyptians, for example, willingly wore jewelry made of emeralds, turquoise, amethysts, and rock crystal. The Romans valued diamonds and sapphires above all else. Semiramis, Cleopatra and other queens of ancient times adored pearls. Renaissance and Baroque fashion gave preference to rubies, sapphires, and topazes.
However, the choice of this or that jewelry depended not only on the whims of fashion and the taste of its owner. A variety of superstitions and beliefs were associated with noble stones. The stone was not only a decoration, but also a talisman that brought happiness, an amulet that protected against illnesses and misfortunes, and sometimes a sign of a profession.

A brief excursion into the history of the use of crystals
Many ancient cultures believed that stones contained life force, and so shamans and magicians used them for rituals and healing. It is believed that crystal energy was widely used in the lost city of Atlantis.

By the way, it is not recommended to give opal as a gift: it causes a feeling of envy of the giver.
The precious luxury of gems - for those who love everything natural
What do we call gems? These are stones of natural origin that have painted themselves in different colors. And they did this a long time ago and very deep... Deep in the earth, where they were formed over thousands of years. The origin of any gem can be compared to its maturation. Roughly speaking, when layers of sand characteristic of this particular type of stone grow around a grain of sand of a certain chemical composition. This happens as a result of earthly cataclysms, temperature changes, volcanic eruptions, displacement of the earth’s crust, and different temperature conditions in one or another part of our planet.
This is how what we call ornamental, semi-precious and precious stones are born. Some gem deposits are being depleted, at least those that we know of. Some are still full of riches, and many have not yet been found.
The photo shows the work of the famous Irkutsk craftswoman, stone carver Natalya Bakut (Made in collaboration with D. Belomestnykh). Stone figurine - Nugget. The work uses green, white and brown jades; orthoamphibolite, lapis lazuli, rauchtopaz, rock crystal, marble onyx, industrial jasper, silver, gold.
Aquamarine - both for the feast and for the world
Today, the “gem” industry fills two large niches: the production of jewelry inserts for jewelry, as well as the production of various products from stones, the same jewelry, figurines, dishes, and other consumer products. And the second is the sale of minerals and gems in the form of natural geodes, druses, crystals - in their pure form, in the form in which they were found in nature. This is already a subject of interest for collectors, researchers, and professional gemologists (people who deal with stones professionally).
Below is the gemstone raw material of aquamarine. This is exactly what it looks like and is found in nature. Each “glass” tube is a separate aquamarine crystal, which is often purchased to be used in jewelry inserts or in its natural form.
Crystals grow in the ground the same way a salt crystal grows in school lessons. However, under different conditions and in different places on the planet, crystals of precious and semi-precious stones turn out differently. Stones are distinguished according to an approved specification: by purity, transparency, color saturation, chemical composition, and hardness. The mentioned aquamarine has a color ranging from completely transparent with a green tint to blue. Green aquamarine is found in the Urals, transparent and blue - in Baikal. Aquamarine is also mined in Brazil, India, Ukraine, Madagascar, and Pakistan.
Among the ancient Romans, aquamarine was considered the stone of the nobility and was the most expensive gem. Until now, the symbolism of aquamarine is associated with love, with luck in finding a partner, with a happy marriage and peace in relationships. Aquamarine is a powerful amulet, especially for sea travel and in the air. And among the Egyptians, aquamarine was revered as a guide to the other world. They believed that this gem united our worlds and gave the owner of aquamarine the power of all his ancestors.
Aquamarine is the brother of emerald, they are both beryl, large aquamarine crystals are very expensive. This stone, like other beryls, is valued by its crystal size. The larger the stone in the jewelry, the more expensive it is, especially if the craftsman used the crystal core itself for the core of the jewelry insert. A small stone costs very little, almost nothing. Only large specimens are valued.
This applies to all other valuable and semi-precious stones. A large specimen increases in price exponentially. A crumb of the same emerald costs very little or nothing.
Celebrities sparkle with large aquamarines on the Oscar path and in everyday life. This gem is surprisingly versatile - it can be worn both at a feast and in peace.
At world auctions, the price of aquamarine cabochons, if it is sufficiently pure and transparent, has never been small.
The many faces of tourmaline - from green to pink
An absolutely luxurious stone - tourmaline. It is also loved by celebrities and is kept in the best treasuries in the world. In crowns, in scepters, in royal museums and chambers. This amazing stone has up to 50 shades of color - from green to pink.
Depending on the color and transparency, some varieties of tourmaline are classified as precious stones, while others are classified as ornamental stones. The most valuable are the transparent varieties of green (verdolite), blue (Paraiba) and crimson-red (our rubellite), as well as polychrome green-red (watermelon, two-color). Here in Siberia, tourmaline-rubellite is mined, a bright pink stone, which in turn has a lot of shades. It is also called noble tourmaline.
The best examples of tourmaline are often found on carpets.
In the photo, Gwyneth Paltrow is wearing earrings consisting of two pear-shaped rubellite cabochons, framed with blue, pink and purple sapphires. Selena Gomez showed off a pink tourmaline ring in a simple design.
Tourmaline captivates, first of all, with its transparency, purity of color, and nobility of shades. The so-called defect-free crystal is of great importance; simply put, it is a stone without cracks or inclusions. But sometimes it is the internal filling of tourmaline, its transparent specimens, that, instead of reducing the value of the stone, on the contrary, increases it. The talent of a master working with stone is to discern at the base of the crystal, the very “grain” that will give the decoration a zest. A transparent, as they say, cracked plate of noble tourmaline sometimes looks simply stunning in jewelry.
Tourmaline is often counterfeited, or rather, a fake is passed off as tourmaline, but it will not be difficult for a professional to identify the deception.
Today it is necessary to distinguish between cases of counterfeiting or counterfeiting, when simply glass, resin, or even plastic can be passed off as a noble stone. And - a case when the stone was refined. Today, many stones are refined or, in professional slang, “treated.” The cracks are filled with a special composition, the stone is subjected to heat treatment or, as is often done with diamonds, they are treated with a laser. Of course, a stone that has undergone processing cannot be considered as expensive as the stone or crystal for which they want to pass it off. However, these are also jewelry, precious stones, which simply have less value than their natural counterpart.
That is, there are simply fakes (a deception in its purest form), then there are refined stones (almost all emeralds on our market are “treated”, that is, processed to enhance color), and there are synthetic stones grown in a laboratory. Jewelry stores in big and small cities are filled with them.
They grow diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphires and many precious stones, which are in constant demand. A synthetic stone is also a crystal, it’s just created artificially. As for shine, in some cases it will sparkle even more than its natural counterpart. It’s just that it’s not natural, but, roughly speaking, from a test tube.
But let's return to our tourmalines.
Another variety of tourmaline is black tourmaline. And this is without a doubt the stone of sorcerers. Black tourmaline is credited with extraordinary strength. First of all, it is believed that if someone wishes you harm, then black tourmaline in the form of a talisman will protect, and most importantly, direct the negativity back.
Jewelry made from black tourmaline must certainly touch the body. That is, the reverse side of the cabochon or jewelry insert in the product must be open and in contact with the skin. (The same thing, by the way, is said about white jade, which is worn for the purpose of healing).
For example, the Chinese, big fans of tourmaline, including black (they call it pi-see), are absolutely sure that black tourmaline is a wizard’s stone. And that with such an amulet stone it is not scary to get involved in any business adventure. All forces that will interfere with the execution of the plan will return back to those who let them go. And the owner of black tourmaline will always be successful.
Black tourmaline is for a person who “has a third eye,” let’s call it intuition, like a guiding star for a sailor. Immediately the goals become clear and the obstacles disappear.
Thus, according to magicians and psychics, the presence of black tourmaline among jewelry or amulets guarantees success in everything.
Designer necklace made of black tourmaline in the shape of a bear paw, a powerful amulet
From ancient times to the present day, the tradition of belief in the magical power of stones has been alive. There is no point in disputing this, because faith protects, and our thoughts are what ultimately happens to us.
Jade - magical leader
The record holder for magical veneration among ornamental stones is jade. Because the main buyers of jade are the Chinese. They believe in jade since time immemorial and jade is revered today by modern Chinese no less than 100 and 200 years ago. The reserves of Chinese jade have been depleted; since ancient times, four types of jade were mined in China, but every Chinese had to buy jade for themselves. Now the Chinese are buying jade from Russia. Jade is Buddha. Jade is China. White jade is Buddha's saliva. When a Chinese person puts a white jade pebble in his mouth, he connects with the Buddha. Just as in our traditions of faith, we partake of the body of Christ at the sacrament - bread and wine.
Green jade, which is mined in Siberia, is used to make everything: jewelry, amulets, massage devices, including intimate massage, frying pans for cooking, stoves for frying meat, figurines for the home, vases, dishes...
It is believed that jade is the warmest stone in the world. And considering that when heated, jade really retains heat for a long time, this is true. Jade helps heart patients, helps those who have problems with the endocrine system, skin problems. If you have problems with the kidneys or stomach, it is recommended to wear jade on your belt. It is believed that jade helps in childbirth and strengthens the immune system of its owner.
Jade massage has many techniques, and what is surprising is that even doctors recognize the ability of jade to heal. .
The smoothness of polished jade, its beauty and durability are the main reasons for the popularity of this stone. Good jade is not cheap; individual specimens of jade, both green and white, have collector's value.
The Russian jeweler Carl Faberge used jade in his beautiful products, fulfilling orders from the royal family, cigarette cases, notebooks and prayer books, jewelry boxes, and complemented jade with gold, gems, and coinage. Today these items are worth millions and periodically appear at auctions.
A master who works with jade knows that this stone is very grateful. The rich green color after polishing acquires the warmth of real natural greenery, which is difficult to compare with the fakes that have flooded the world under the guise of jade. The color of jade—sometimes bright, sometimes muted—always remains very natural, pleasing to the eye. Jade does not have any shades of turquoise or azure, no sparkles or foreign inclusions. It is smooth and at the same time branched when exposed to light, and is almost always translucent.
Do you know that not so long ago among jades, and there are several of them: green, cat jade (with the effect of a cat's eye), black, brown, white and red, blue jade appeared not so long ago. They gave it a name - Dianite. It was discovered in 1997, the same year Princess Diana died. Professional gemologists do not recognize this name because they believe that it is absolutely not scientific.
Professionals call it blue jade or blue jade.
Today Dianite is the most expensive of the jades. Due to the fact that it is still very rare.
White jade, which has already been mentioned, has a cult significance throughout Asia. Mythology and reality are so intertwined in the minds of a Buddhist that the possession of a simple pebble of white jade is already considered a sign of an accomplished personality.
White jade pebbles are a natural oval or round pellet with an obligatory “crust” (a dark brown coating, usually on the other side of the pebble), with a main color of white, reminiscent of the color of lard or milk. In general, everything related to white food is sacred to Buddhists and shamanists. White jade has a lot of color varieties, inclusions of yellow, brown, the white part of the stone itself can be bluish in places or with shades of green. Natural pebbles or pellets are already considered a finished product made by nature itself.
A superb example of a white jade pebble that could be a complete work of art in itself. Only the author of this product is nature itself.
Such stones are used to make amulets, figurines, or left as is. Sometimes they are purchased simply for collection.
Below is a magnificent product from Irkutsk stone master Natalya Bakut. Scorpion. Do you think this is jade?
Scorpion. Noble serpentinite, crystal, white gold. N. Bakut, A. Baydrakova, O. Selivanchuk
This is not jade, as it might seem at first glance. This is a noble serpentinite or coil, which, by the way, is used to decorate the Shchelkovskaya metro station in Moscow. Beloved by sculptors and stone artists. Also one of the most interesting stones, with a rich palette of colors and interesting properties. By the way, no less magical than jade. Traditionally, tramps and travelers carried it with them as a talisman; it was believed that it protected against snake bites, saved from hypertension, colds, the serpentine was even called an apothecary stone.
This stone not only saves its owner from various troubles, but also becomes so attached to its owner that it cannot be re-gifted. Can only be passed on to blood relatives.
Many people confuse noble serpentinite with jade, but they have completely different compositions.
Tanzanite - the famous "blue diamond" from the Titanic
One of the discoveries of recent years is the Tanzanite stone, which got its name from the country of Tanzania, where it was discovered. Like Siberian Dianite, Tanzanite was discovered quite recently - in March 1966, a little over 50 years ago.
At first, the piercingly blue stones found were mistaken for sapphires, but they were soon identified as the new mineral tanzanite. Tanzanite quickly gained worldwide fame thanks to the American jewelry company, which proposed the name in honor of Tanzania, where there is the only deposit of this beautiful stone in the world. Its popularity was facilitated by clever advertising policy, rarity, magnificent color and the use of jewelry made from it by film star Elizabeth Taylor.
It is found in blue, purple and yellow-brown colors; the latter, after heat treatment, also become blue-violet and are used in jewelry.
Good quality stones are ultramarine or sapphire blue in color. When exposed to electric light, it takes on an amethyst-violet hue. When heated to 400-500 °C, brownish and yellowish shades disappear and the blue of the stone deepens.
Tanzanite can be confused with natural and synthetic sapphire.
The most famous tanzanite was used in James Cameron's Titanic instead of the blue diamond Heart of the Ocean.
Tanzanite is a symbol of love, luxury and wealth. It can be cut, cabochons can be made from it, it remains a magnificent blue crystal, which has already found its niche among the elite jewelry of the modern jewelry fashion industry.
Charoite - magic in stone
Charoite is a stone found on the Chara River in Siberia. The only deposit in the world of such stone. It has no analogues. What events that took place in this particular part of the globe that preceded the creation of this unique mineral can only be told by super-professionals. Researchers have still not come to a consensus on what influenced the birth of the delightful lilac stone, pierced by radiant crystals of different rocks.
Charoite, like tanzanite, is found and mined in only one place in the world.
The charoite deposit is located at the junction of the Irkutsk region and Yakutia. The government of the Republic of Sakha-Yakutia has imposed a limit on stone extraction of 100 tons per year - this is a forced measure to protect against the rapid depletion of the deposit. That is why the charm increases in price from year to year and becomes more and more rare.
There is a remarkable story associated with the discovery of charoite. The discoverer of the field, Yuri Rogov, was sent by the government on a business trip abroad. There he went to the Louvre Mineralogical Museum, which claimed to have a complete collection of all the minerals of the Earth and, showing a plate of lilac rock, asked to identify the mineral. The museum staff were forced to admit that they did not have such a mineral, and offered to sell him a sample. But the Soviet geologist refused.
A collectible specimen of charoite looks completely “alien”
Products and jewelry made from charoite delight everyone who sees it for the first time. An absolutely natural lilac color, piercingly bright and sparkling, at the same time, thanks to its luminous veins and inclusions of moonstone, charoite looks like a meteorite from another planet.
According to its quality and consumer properties, charoite is divided into several classes. The most magnificent charoite has the Extra class. The extra class includes bright lilac specimens with mother-of-pearl interlacing of feldspar crystals (this is moonstone), interspersed with metal sulfides and other alloys. In the extra class there is very little black and other alien color shades.
Possession of natural stones that Mother Nature created is beyond the philistine concepts of “fashionable-not fashionable”, “expensive-not expensive”... Each item from this “catalog” is truly priceless. You can buy it only because you want to have it. Look at her any time you want. Carry on yourself, carry in your pocket, have in your box. And it will never happen again. She will be only yours.
Just the thought that such beauty (pink, green, blue...) was created somewhere deep in the earth, and then came into being through the efforts of a successful miner, and was later cleared of other species, processed by a master, or turned into an ideal form cabochon, or in a faceted insert for a ring, earring or something else that we can see and appreciate.. It saw the sun's rays, began to play with all the colors, sparkled and shone... It can be touched, touched, stroked...
The mere thought that this transparent drop from the very depths could be somewhere nearby, one’s own, one’s own, is the epiphany of a true artist. And the artist and creator lives in each of us. As children, we look at beautifully sparkling glass from our mother and grandmother's box. When we are young, we wear rhinestones and sequins. And then, later, when we can afford to see real beauty, we buy natural stones.
