Interesting -Facts About Some ot
the World's Rare Gems.
Beautiful A gratia and Crystals Known
to the Ancients The Diamond Not .
the Most Valued, as Is Com
monly Supposed.
Beyond all question, the ruby stands
isupreme as the most precious substance
in.th.3 world, says the New York Ad
vertiser. So much . many persons
know, but few are aware that rubies,
sapphires, oriental amethysts and to
pazes are all practically the same crem.
They are corundum, or crystallized
alumina, but with infinite diversities
of coloring- and infinite different values.
It is curious, but true, that a ruby is
only a red sapphire, and a sapphire
only a blue ruby.
The finest '"pigeon's blood" rubies
come from Burmah, those from Siam or
Ceylon being' too dark or too pale, and
the Montana stone3 being cloudy and
brown. A perfect one carat specimen
may cost six hundred dollars, while a
diamond of the finest water of the
same size can be bought, for one hun
dred and twenty-five dollars. The rich
color of the ruby, a color which decs
not blacken like the blue of a sapphire
by night, is supposed to be due to a
trace of oxide of chromium, but this is
still a moot point with chemists, and
all are not even agreed as to the sap
phire's velvet tinge. This latter stone
is much less valuable than ruby, being
found larger and more abundantly.
Sapphires really present all colors, thp
pure white variety, when skillfully cut,
being difficult to tell from a diamond."
This is a deception dishonest jewelers
not unfrequently practice to catch the
unwary. Both rubies and sapphires
are occasionally met with as "star
stones" that is, opaque cabochon-cut
gems showing the perfect steely rays
of a star.
The emerald is another exceedingly
dear stone, surpassing the diamond in
value when of good size and free from
flaws. Unfortunately, this gem is rare
ly faultless, but, if perfect, it easily
fetches five hundred dollars a carat.
Emerald and aquamarine,- the latter a
beautifully sunny sea-green stone, are
identical in chemical composition, be
ing varieties of the mineral beryl with
traces of , different coloring' matter.
Beryl is found in all shades from honey
yellow to the velvet green of the right
emerald. The aquamarine variety has
lately become dear and fashionable, and
rightly so, for the stone is durable and
a. lovely object. The late emperor of
Brazil is said to have possessed an
aquamarine of over two hundred
ounces troy weight. The indefinite
colors of the beryl must have been
known for ages, since this gem Repre
sented the doubting Thomas.
After perfect rubies and emeralds,
and perhaps after great pearls, comes
the diamond in value. This, too, has a
range of colors, the most prized being
red, blue,green, and water white, while
brown or gray tinges are not quite
so highly esteemed. The Koh-i-Noor, of
one hundred and two and three-fourths
carats, ranks low in point of size with
some of the world's great stones for
instance with the Great Mogul, two
hundred and seventy-nine carats in
weight. Diamond is the hardest
mineral known, brittle though it be;
acids do not affect it, and it is- also the
only combustible gem. It has high re
fraetive and dispersive powers ('fire"),
and some specimens become phos
phorescent by the action of light. It
usually occurs as an eight-sided crystal.
The name topaz is applied to three
distinct kind of stones, to the oriental
topaz, which is really a ' yellow
sapphire; to the Scotch topaz, which is
only quartz, just as amethysts arc
violet-colored quartz of little value;
and to the Brazilian topaz, a vivacious,
sherry-colored gem which is the only
true topaz. This latter stone takes a
high, brilliant polish, and it feels
slippery to the touch. The rose pink
topaz seen in shops is not a natural
color; it is obtained by subjecting the
dark yellow varieties to great heat;
The commercial v value of topaz is ex
tremely fluctuating, one reason being
that light exercises a bleaching effect
on it.
.Another gem, beautiful and interest
ing in itself, which is occasionally sold
for the true ruby, is the red zircon, also
called jargoon and jacinth or hyacinth.
Jewelers call these stones "jacinth
rubies" and charge accordingly. The
gem is of all colors, the pure white ones
being hard to distinguish from dia
monds, on account of their wonderful
fire. Chrysolite is just as white, but it
is like glass compared with a diamond
or jargoon.
There are two kinds of chrysoberyl
used as gems. One the well-known
oriental cats-eye, an opaque greenish
brown cabochon-cut stone, showing a
steely flash or line like silver wire; the
other, the little known but beautiful
and curious alexandrite. This unique
gem is olive or pistachio green by day
light, and it has the remarkable prop
erty of turning a raspberry red by arti
ficial light. The green tourmaline is
much like alexandrite by day. This is
the most chemically complex of all
gems, and it occurs also in red and
brown crystals. ,
Spontaneous Combustion.
As it is known that spontaneous com
bustion sometimes takes place in car
goes of coal, it has been suggested that
under certain conditions enormous
coal-fields may ignite and in time pro
duce volcanoes. Occasional and violent
eruptions may be caused by the burn
ing away of barriers and the inflow of
water suddenly producing an enor
mous bulk of steam, which must find
an outlet. The idea that clean cotton
may take fire spontaneously is scouted
by many experts., They claim that
what is called by this name is the re
sult of some spark that may smolder
unobserved for weeks, and then may
break out in some unsuspected fashion.
Tobacco, linen, jute and oily cotton,
however, inflame spontaneously on
what would seem, to a scientific mind,
insufficient provocation.
