Conch pearls were first discovered only after Columbus had discovered the new world. The reason behind this is due to the fact that the marine gastropod responsible for producing these pearls known as Strombus gigas or the conch is found only in the West Indies where Christopher Columbus started his discoveries. Looking back on the early Spanish conquistadors descriptions of large pink pearls that they found on the native American tribesmen in Florida, it is safe to assume they were referring to conch pearls. Melo pearls are found in several different species of volute or bailer shell. The most well known of these is the melo melo or Indian volute.

The American golden topaz which is of brazilian origin and resides in the natural history museum of the smithsonian Institution at washington dc is the largest faceted golden topaz and perhaps the largest faceted gemstone of anykind in the world. The name of the stone seem to reflect both the continent of origin of the enormous gemstone, and also the country where it resides at present as well as the type of gemstone. The most commonly available topaz are light golden brown yellow and colorless varieties. Topaz can exist in a variety of colors such as colorless pale blue light green yellow yellowish brown orange pink and red.

I love all are token jewelry because of addressed as an abstract concept love usually refers to a deep ineffable feeling of tenderly caring for another person. Giving jewelry is a manner of showing these feelings to the person who is the cause of these emotions. Although jewelry is often created for a special occasion or reason to find jewelry with a love related design is not obvious.

Ya i also agree with you Pecos diamonds also known as Pecos valley diamonds are colorful quartz crystals that occur in scattered outcrops of the Permian Seven Rivers Formation along the Pecos River valley in southeastern new mexico. Pecos diamonds are formed inside gypsum. Now and then the gypsum crumbles away, exposing the "diamonds" which are a variety of double-terminated quartz crystals. Pecos diamonds take on a wide range of colors. Perfectly transparent crystals are usually less than 4mm long. Larger crystals take on the color of the gypsum matrix.

All are gemstone cuts really very awesome and something different diamond cuts. And colour is a primary feature, and a natural not heat treated gem will fetch a better price than a treated stone. This natural tanzanite gemstone exhibits a beautiful & vibrant vivid bluish violet colorand is a terrific value for such a fine quality natural tanzanite. And thanks to share.

The Amarillo Starlight is the largest diamond found by a park visitor in the Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas since 1972, when it was established as a State Park, where visitors were allowed to prospect for diamonds for a nominal fee and keep what they find. The 16.37-carat rough diamond was discovered in 1975 by Mr. W.W.Johnson of Amarillo, Texas, the town from which the diamond gets its name.

I have held in my hand a pearl from a nautilus last week end. The pearl was egg shaped, about 8x6mm, white, it seemed translucent, porcelain-like. The surface was not smooth.

I think that Osmina/osmena pearls are usually shaped out of the middle of the shell material. It has a very special luster you can recognize as being from a nautilus shell.
