can you tell us about gemstones, lucky? 👉 👈

ITS TIME

basically all my knowledge is just chilling in my subconscious so i probably won't remember all of it but like. yea

SO: there's a buncha different families of gemstones that fall into a buncha tiny categories etc etc. here's the important ones

QUARTZES: amethyst, citrine, ametrine, (cool combo of amethyst + citrine that fades from purple to yellow), rose quartz, milky quartz, basically any color + quartz

They're silica-based, that's what makes them all related

The chemical composition for all quartzes can be written as SiO2, impurities cause the color variations

CHALCEDONY: jasper, agate, carnelian, chrysoprase, bloodstone

Quartz's cousin, it's a gem on its own but there's also other gems that can be classified under it

It is the "microcrystalline" form of quartz, which means it forms into these weird little lumps, I have one and it looks very cool

Jaspers have stripes, agates have bands (aka concentric circles)

There are SO MANY types of jasper/agate

JASPERS: zebra, ocean, leopard, biggs, brecciated, poppy, etc

AGATES: blue lace, pink lace, crazy lace, snakeskin, fire, Botswana, grape(LOOK THIS ONE UP ITS SO FUNNY), rainbow, thunder egg, etc

Onyx is a type of agate, as well as sardonyx

Moss agate is NOT a type of agate because it has no bands, it's just chalcedony with inclusions of hornblende, but they call it an agate anyway for some reason

sard is apparently also a type of chalcedony?? it's just brown and has no bands???? idk

Anyways I love basically all the varieties of chalcedony for different reasons, it's probably my favorite gem honestly

Then we have the garnets

i hate the garnets

They're barely related but still all classified as one type??? idk

GARNETS: almandine, pyrope, spessartite, grossular, andradite, uvarovite

those are the main six but there are MORE types that fit under each

the important ones are demantoids, hessonites, imperial, rhodolite, tsavorite

Side note: the prefix rhodo means the gem is pink, there's like three different gems with that suffix

the only thing I like abt the garnets is their names. those are some cool ass names

BERYLS: aquamarine, emerald, bixbite, morganite, goshenite, heliodor

This is the same case as chalcedony where it's a gem on its own but they just named the different colors

They form into these vertical rectangular shapes, it's p cool

GYPSUMS: alabaster, selenite, desert rose

Selenite fucking slaps it's like,,, it's got this vertical pattern of lines and it's iridescent, it looks super cool

NOT to be confused with the element selenium. they're different

desert roses are like these chunky tan rocks with a buncha white lines scattered on it, I love them

TOURMALINES: schorl, dravite, rubellite, indicolite, verdelite, achroite

These ones are also vertical rectangles, they got l i n e s

CORUNDUMS: Rubies and sapphires

That's it

JADES: the jades are split into two groups, jadeite and nephrite

there's more but I'm tired

like for part 2
