every female character in recent history (not animated) tries to be Marguerite Krux (multidimentional, allowed to be a real person with real feelings and reactions and, most importantly, flawed, imperfect, and allowed to make mistakes and learn) so hard and yet they miss the target by half the distance between here and the sun, when everyone in studios should just understand that perfect doesn't mean better, quite the contrary

genuine question this has been bugging me for ages. if diamonds are the hardest material there is. how cut diamond

incredibly good question, the answer is very simple: other diamond

...yeah i'll elaborate. i'm not gonna get into crystallography because i would be here for 10 hours, but the most condensed explanation i can give you is this: crystals dont have the same hardness on every face, if you hit a crystal on one side you're more likely to scratch it than if you hit it on another side, and so on

the entire diamond crystal doesn't have a uniform hardness, i mean the entirety of it is very hard, but some parts of the same diamond crystal are harder than others, and the less hard ones can be cut by the more hard ones. i'm not a gemmologist so i don't actually know how the entire process works in detail, but yeah in short we use diamonds to cut diamonds

also fun fact diamonds aren't actually the material with the strongest bonds, but it's a close second to graphene... i would need an essay to explain this so come back with a warrant for it

Also Mole's romance plight is another reason I see him as autistic, a lot of autistic people could be described as hopeless romantics/obsessed with love or the concept of soulmates because the fantasy that someone understands us so perfectly is so foreign/unnobtainable (at least in our minds) that all we can do is daydream about it and project it onto media/etc

So I think, maybe, Mole tells himself he's come to terms with it and really throws himself into his work, but when he's digging alone with no one else around and the cavern walls are no match for that feeling of dread - he probably cries/gets caught up in the idea all over again

Then he meets Crow, and is genuinely thrown off that a) they have such similar passions for their work and b) that Crow seems to smile at him in a way no one else ever had before. Genuine + warm, no underlying disgust or malice, just... a real smile. He (Crow) is even charmed by him!

Team Atlantis watching the gemmologist they needed an opinion from flirt with Mole: Oh my god, we need to make this happen because this is a once in a lifetime opportunity

^ The crew probably encourages Mole to talk to Crow more, maybe even gets Crow hired for the expedition instead of being just the opinions guy just so they can see each other more (obviously they don't say it directly, more like a "hey, we might find more of these weird crystal growths and you guys seem to make a good team with this stuff, how about you come along?" Crow would brim with excitement, running around and giggling as he grabs his stuff. Mole seems off put to have another dirt/rock person on the crew for a moment until he looks back and has his moment of "knowing" with the laughing and the rambling.)

Sorry this turned into a gay ass ramble, but I love Diamonds in the Rough sm, Crowley and Gaetan when I fucking get you-

         ~ “Elizabeth Taylor's jewelry was an infinitely beautiful token of the love, quite difficult, that she shared with Richard Burton. You can literally say that she was inundated with jewelry, her amazing collection will be the subject of the following posts. First up is a brooch with a magnificent Burmese sapphire, which was created in the late 19th century. The brooch features a cushion-shaped sapphire weighing 37.29 carats, which has been recognized by leading gemmologists as an uncorrected specimen, so its spectacular color is completely natural. The entire piece is beautifully set in gold, complementing the setting with diamonds in the old European cut weighing about 15 carats. From the memoirs of Elizabet Taylor herself, it can be inferred that this was her favorite brooch. After Elizabeth Taylor's death, the brooch was auctioned along with her jewels at Christie's in 2011 as part of The Collection of Elizabeth Taylor: The Legendary Jewels.It has now gone up for auction again this time through auction house Sotheby's, with a staggering valuation of HKD 12-20,000,000.“ ~

WHERE DO GEMSTONES COME FROM?

Are you a gemstone lover? Are you interested in learning about the formation of these stunning resources? If this is the case, start reading this post. Each gemstone has an attractive colour that attracts people. 

Want to know how these precious stones are made? There are a lot of methods used to extract the gemstone because each gemstone is taken from various places. But all gemstones are taken from the earth's crust. 

Due to its long history,gemstone jewellery is liked by many people and also gives many positive energies to the wearer. These precious stones are not only beautiful, but they are also rare and have fascinating histories. Below, you can see where gemstones come from:

Gemstone inclusions

The majority of minerals have obvious signs of their origins. It includes zoning, internal fractures that have partially healed during growth, or tiny crystals of other minerals. It is either formed concurrently with the larger host crystal or was caught up in its development. Gemmologists refer to these and other interior phenomena as inclusions.

Under a 10x loupe or microscope, a gemstone's inclusions can provide information about the geological conditions in which the mineral evolved.

Gemstone earrings can occasionally be identified by their inclusions, which can also demonstrate whether the stone is manufactured or natural. A gemstone's origin can also be determined by its inclusions. For instance, during spring or early summer in the Baltic Sea region, the hairs in an amber bead drifted into the sticky resin from an oak tree that blossomed 20–40 million years ago.

Where Do Gems Come From and How Do They Form?

Some crystal formations give birth to gems. Space, pressure, temperature, components, and time are the five conditions that must be met for crystal formation. Additionally, there are four ways that gemstones can form from the formation of crystals, which is similar to how rocks form. When minerals come together in crystalline forms, gems and rocks are created. Different types of crystals will form depending on the type of rock they form.

How Are Gemstones Found?

Diamond mining has developed into an industrial process. Hole mining, the most popular technique for collecting diamonds, uses trucks, heavy equipment, and hydraulic excavators to extract diamonds from kimberlite pipelines. The procedure for extracting coloured gemstones is quite distinct, though. Mining for these jewels is time-consuming and laborious because deposits of valuable coloured gemstones are rare and, when they are found, typically consist of small amounts of gems distributed throughout a substantial amount of rock. 

Modern mining methods are rarely used in these circumstances, and the resources are typically too tiny for major mining corporations to make a profit on. Thus, small, independent miners who have been mining for decades are left to handle the deposits manually. However, a number of significant mining companies have joined the gemstone industry recently, bringing with them fresh approaches to using modern mining techniques.

Gemstone Formation Process

There are four ways gemstones can form. They are

Igneous: Deep within the earth, diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and peridots are formed.

Hydrothermal: When bodies of water rich in minerals cool, gemstones are created, much like in the example of the rock candy.

Metamorphic: Sapphire, Ruby, Spinel, and Garnet transform as a result of extreme heat and pressure, as the name implies. 

Sedimentary: When water deposits sediments, stones like malachite, azurite, and opal are formed.

Mining of Gemstones: Mining may be necessary to transport the stone from its natural habitat to the market, depending on its sort and location.Open pit method: This method is used to mine gemstones that are close to the ground's surface. Much rock and dirt must be removed in order to reach the gemstone bracelet. To get to the gemstone bracelet, a lot of rock and dirt must be removed.

Underground mining: This method extracts diamonds like diamonds from deep within the Earth. This method is more complicated and dangerous because it requires tunnels and shaft excavation.

Alluvial mining: Jewellery lovers have begun liking beads due to their affordable price and eye-catching design. Today, necklaces and bracelets can be made with an array of beads and gemstones.

Art of Gem Cutting and Polishing

To bring an attractive look to a gemstone, it is mined and then to be cut and polished. There are a lot of processes involved when cutting a gemstone; below, you can see details about it:

Cutting: The rough stone needs to be cut into the appropriate form in order to maximize the colour and brightness of the gemstone. The fundamental characteristics of the stone are taken into account while selecting various cuts, such as the sapphire cut for emeralds or the round brilliant cut for diamonds.

Polishing: The gemstone is polished after cutting to boost its brightness. By polishing away any sharp edges, the gemstone ringgets a glitter appearance.

Summing It Up

Gemstones are beautiful accessories that give a wearer a wonderful look, so from the years back to still now, many people have preferred to wear them. Gemstones convey a narrative of artistic creativity and the beauty of nature, from their formation deep inside the ground to their transformation into stunning jewellery. Gaining an appreciation for the beauty of gemstones and a greater respect for the natural processes that created these priceless stones might come from knowing their origins.

Ensuring Authenticity: The Ultimate Checklist for Antique Gold Ruby Pendants

Ask yourself: How would you feel if you were ever gifted an antique gold ruby pendant? Great, isn’t it? That’s the charm of this timeless piece. Antique pendants made out of ruby and gold carry a rich history and elegance with them.

But possessing such a sophisticated and luxurious item makes you check its authenticity.

Here's the ultimate checklist to help you verify the authenticity of antique gold ruby pendants.

VERIFY PROVENANCE

Verifying the provenance is the first step in checking the jewelry's authenticity. Provenance here refers to the documents of the past ownership and authenticity certificates. Genuine antique products have a thorough documentation of their past. From whomever you purchase it, ask for records and proofs to thoroughly check the jewelry’s authenticity.

CHECK FOR HALLMARKS

You must be aware of what a hallmark is. It is a mark that shows the purity of the gold by tiny stamps. These markings reveal important details related to the authenticity, documentation, and age of the product. Look for the assay office mark and the karat mark under a magnifying glass to stay guaranteed and learn what they mean.

EXAMINE THE CRAFTSMANSHIP

Antique jewelry displays superior craftsmanship with intricate detailing. The handcrafted designs such as the engraving, the placement of the precious gemstones, and its overall designs speak a lot about its makers and time. Such elaborate designs are challenging to copy

ASSESS THE RUBIES

Real rubies are not perfect like fake stones. They have natural imperfections and color variations. Even after observing the natural structures, if you are unable to differentiate between real and artificial rubies, consult a gemologist to evaluate them. They will also tell you if there are any treatments applied to the imitation stones so that you can be careful in the future.

CONSULT AN EXPERT

Gemmologists or antique jewelry dealers can offer authenticity services and insightful advice. They have a deep understanding and the required equipment to determine the genuineness with accuracy.

CONSIDER THE PRICE

Before purchasing such antique pieces, search their market prices and have an estimate of that. If you observe any items priced at lower costs, be aware, as they can be fake replicas.

By following these points you can ensure that your antique gold ruby pendant is genuine. Authentic antique jewelry of precious materials and gemstones holds monetary value and historical significance.

Alright buckle up, I'm going on a rant

So I was on Instagram and an add pop up. It's several rings. I see one that I find pretty so I look up the model just so I know what kind of price we're talking.

And my god do they have no shame ?

Alright so background information, I'm a geologist and a gemmologist so I know my rocks. The ring I found was this one :

Natural back opal is one of the most expensive type of opal out there. Here, we have lab grown opal, you can tell by the stripped pattern. Uncut it looks like this :

Now, no hate toward lab grown gems, the fact that we can imitate natural gems is pretty cool if you ask me.

BUT

Lab grown opal is obviously WAY cheaper than natural opal. Especially for black opal.

600$ looked pretty high for me so I looked up other rings in this style

BAM WE LOOSE MORE THAN 450$ (still too expensive if you ask me but still).

THAT'S NOT ALL

If you were to buy the raw material (keep in mind that it's an estimate because I couldn't find prices directly from the lab)

One slab big enough to do several rings is the price of one of the cheaper ring (keep in mind that you still have to make a ring out of it and you have to pay for that).

So let's be clear, do not buy a 600$ lab grown opal ring, it's not supposed to be that expensive.

Anyway always check where the gems in your jewelry is from folks <3
