A semi-precious stone is just another word for a gemstone. These gems, like opal or quartz, are cut and polished to make jewelry. While semi-precious stone can mean any gemstone, right up to diamonds and emeralds, the term typically refers to gemstones like scapilite, peridot or quartz topaz that tend to have a lower value, though still exhibit brilliant beauty. In this article, we'll cover some basic semi-precious stones, including how to recognize them.
Amber: Amber is not technically a stone; it's an organic gem derived from fossilized tree sap. Amber ranges in color from a honey yellow to an almost chocolaty orange-brown. While amber is often faked using high-quality plastic, it can be easily tested with intense heat. True amber will produce a white smoke, while plastic will simply smolder or melt.
Amethyst: Very popular thanks to its tranquil purple tones, this quartz-based stone is very versatile and durable. Amethyst is typically mined in Russia, Brazil, Bolivia, Germany, Canada, India, Australia, Madagascar, Namibia, Sri Lanka, the United States, Uruguay and Zambia. Fine amethysts are also produced using synthetic lab-based methods.
Peridot: As the birthstone for August, this beautiful and transparent stone comes in a range of colors from a yellowish green to a deep chartreuse shade. The remarkable Peridot was originally believed to free the mind from jealous thoughts and was seen as an aid to friendship. Though not exceptionally brilliant, the Peridot stone is prized for its rich color. Today, Peridot is mined in Arizona, Mexico, Myanmar, Norway, Russia, Sri Lanka and Pakistan.
Garnet: Depending on the type of garnet, its quality, color and size, a garnet can range anywhere from $30 a carat to over $5000 per carat. These remarkable stones are found in all colors and shades, but are best known for their deep, blood red variety. Today, the rare green garnet (tsavorite) is mined in Kenya and Tanzania, while orange and red garnet can be found in Madagascar, Namibia and Pakistan.
Lapis Lazuli: Lapis is the birthstone for December and was traditionally prized as a powerful amulet. Genuine lapis is an opaque, blue stone that exhibits an intense, brilliant and very deep blue coloration. Some types of lapis exhibit small, gold flecks, but these varieties tend to be less valuable. The best lapis in the world come from Argentina and Afghanistan, but the unique stone can also be found in Chile, Russia, the United States and Canada.

In Afghanistan $14.99 Afghanistan has been a strategic prize for foreign empires for more than 200 years. The British, Russians, and Americans have all fought across its beautiful and inhospitable terrain, in conflicts variously ruthless, misguided and bloody. This violent history is the subject of David Loyn's magisterial book. It is a history littered with misunderstandings and broken promises, in which the British, the Russians, and later the Americans, constantly underestimated the ability of the Afghans. In Afghanistan brilliantly brings to life the personalities involved in Afghanistan's relationship with the world, chronicling the misunderstandings and missed opportunities that have so often led to war. With 30 years experience as a foreign correspondent, David Loyn has had a front-row seat during Afghanistan’s recent history. In Afghanistan draws on David Loyn's unrivalled knowledge of the Taliban and the forces that prevail in Afghanistan, to provide the definitive analysis of the lessons these conflicts have for the present day. |
