There are many misconceptions about the value
of different gemstones, and many ways of artificially enhancing them, or even
faking them. Sometimes they are misleadingly named, and always there are several
factors affecting their value
-
Colour
-
Clarity
-
Flawlessness
-
Size
The distinction made between precious and
semi-precious stones is also misleading - diamond is generally accepted to be
more valuable than a garnet - but a really poor quality diamond can be worth
less than a fine quality garnet.
