  • Star Gem Stones of Sri Lanka
    Star stones of the corundum family are either star sapphires or rubies. Whenlight falls on these stones, a star effect is visible (known as asterism).Sri Lanka is the best known source for star sapphires and star rubies. Starsapphires range in colour from grey to bluish-grey and from medium blue tomedium dark blue. The very slightly purplish medium dark blue is the bestcolour grade for star sapphires. Star rubies range from light pink-red topurple-red through deep purple-red. The intense red star rubies areextremely rare. A good quality star stone should have a high degree oftransparency and a well defined star with no weak or missing rays. It shouldbe reasonably clean and in the face-up position, no distracting inclusionsor cracks should be seen. There should be no excess weight at the bottom ofthe stone.Star sapphires and rubies are hard stones (9 on the Moh's scale), which cantake a high degree of polish and retain the shinefor a long time.

  • Cullinan Diamond : The largest gem diamond ever found
    This 3,106.75 carat diamond is the largest gem diamond ever found. It was discovered on January 26, 1905 at the Premier Diamond Mining Company in Cullinan, Gauteng, South Africa, by Frederick Wells, a mine superintendent. Although a carbonado found in Brazil weighed more than 3,600 carats (720 g), no gem-quality material could be extracted from it. The stone was named after Sir Thomas Cullinan, the owner of the diamond mine. The stone was bought by the Transvaal government for $800,000 and presented to King Edward VII. It was cut into three large parts by Asscher Brothers of Amsterdam, and eventually into some 11 large gem-quality stones, 96 smaller brilliants, and 9.5 carats of unpolished pieces. At the time, technology had not yet evolved to guarantee quality of the modern standard, and cutting the diamond was considered difficult and risky. In order to enable Asscher to cut the diamond in one blow an incision was made, half an inch deep. Then a specifically designed knife was place
