What Are The 5 Most Precious Gems???...

They are diamond, emerald, ruby, sapphire and opal. Most people would say that the diamond is the most valuable stone, but that is not necessarily true. Many emeralds of good quality, --- the prized dark, vivid green, are more valuable. Rubies, --- the exquisite, highly-sought pidgeon blood rubies, are extremely valuable. Black opals are very, very valuable.

Blood Diamonds...

WHAT ARE BLOOD DIAMONDS???... Blood diamonds (also called conflict diamonds, brown diamonds, hot diamonds, or red diamonds) are diamonds mined in a war zone and sold to finance an insurgency, an invading army's war efforts, terrorism, or a warlord's activity. The term is used to highlight the negative consequences of the diamond trade in certain areas, or to label an individual diamond as having come from such an area. Diamonds mined during the 20th–21st century civil wars in Angola, Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea, and Guinea-Bissau have been given the label. The term conflict resource refers to analogous situations involving other natural resources. Blood diamonds can also be smuggled by organized crime syndicates so that they could be sold on the black market.

Are You Thinking Of Giving Your Sweetheart That $125 Ruby Ring For Valentine's Day?...

WoW!!!... What a good price it is!... Only $125 for a real ruby ring!... Is that ring from a well known jewelry store, perhaps in a mall?... Then, yes, it's a real ruby ring, but it's only worth about $30 a carat. What?, you might say. That's right. It's only worth about $30 a carat, retail. Because, although it is a real ruby, it's lab created, and lab created gems aren't worth much. Sorry. Sure, buy it, if you like. But, know this: you're not getting a bargain.
