finest quality of a jem?

Answer 1

Unique to each gem, character describes the nature of the gemstone itself and is determined by its unique ratio of mineral components. For example:

• Therapeutic Dark Green Aventurine is composed of silicon dioxide colored green by tiny platelets of green chromium mica, called fuchsite. Its appearance is characterized by dark-green capsules floating in a translucent light-green base. Among other requirements, the flecks must appear as solid, discrete capsules and not as loose clouds or streaks, and they must be present in a specific proportion. This can be determined only through examination under a microscope.

• Therapeutic Lapis Lazuli is a combination of Lazurite and other minerals, including Sodalight, Calcite, and Pyrite. Its appearance is characterized by a certain percentage of golden Pyrite flecks in a base of royal blue color.


Color
To be therapeutic, a gem must accurately represent the optimal color for its type. As a gem strays from its optimal color, its therapeutic effectiveness decreases. Off colors, inappropriate shades, or muddiness add undesirable energies. For example, Amethyst that is too light or too dark purple is not therapeutic; nor is brownish-yellow Citrine, which must be a pure or golden yellow.

Clarity
Clarity requirements are unique to each gemstone type and can vary widely. For example, some gems are adversely affected by certain internal flaws or cloudiness, while others are not. For example:

• Therapeutic Quartz and Citrine must be optical or near-optical in quality.

• Ideal Lavender displays a mixture of cloudy and transparent areas.


Consistency
Consistency is a quality that is desirable both within a sphere and within a therapeutic necklace as a whole. In general, the quality of all spheres in a necklace should be similar to each other, without a high degree of variability. Consistency is more important for some gemstones than it is with others. For example:

• In a Blue Sapphire necklace, consistency is critical. Lack of consistency, even in bead size, can render an otherwise therapeutic Blue Sapphire necklace non-therapeutic.

• Within an Opalight necklace, a wide variation of characteristic colors contributes to the necklace’s effectiveness.


Cut
Because of the central role of shape in a gem’s therapeutic effectiveness, precision in cutting and drilling therapeutic gems is essential. Spheres and other rounded forms, such as cylinders and rounded chips, should contain a minimum of nicks and uncharacteristic irregularities. All beads should be well formed and proportioned, and spheres should have virtually no flat spots. Drill holes should be smooth and consistent in size.

Cleanliness
To be therapeutic, most gems must be free of adulteration, such as dye, irradiation, or kerosene. These treatments can seriously disrupt a gem’s therapeutic energies and even render them harmful to the user. For example:

• Roselle (Rose Quartz) is often dyed to deepen its pink color, yet dye renders it non-therapeutic.

• The machines used to cut Leopardskin Jasper spheres are usually lubricated with kerosene, but the kerosene clogs the surface of the finished spheres and disrupts the natural expression of the gems’ healing energies. (Gemisphere’s Leopardskin Jasper spheres are cut using a special water process.)

• Aquamarine is sometimes irradiated to enhance the color of a poor-quality gem. However, this treatment destroys the energy of the gemstone and replaces it with a severely disharmonious energy.


Candescence
Gem candescence is an optical quality that makes a gemstone look like a brilliant drop of liquid color. This liquid appearance reflects an energetic quality indicates exceptional therapeutic potency. It is an extremely rare quality that is most often seen in colored crystalline gems, such as Blue Sapphire, Emerald, Amethyst, and Citrine.

Answer 2

Eden has said it all and is fantastically clear even if it is a cut and paste answer. Frog is totally wrong you were asking about gems 24 carat in terms of purity only refers to gold
Good luck

Answer 3

You simply must use only the best fruit. Quality ingredients are the only way to make spiffing jem. The only way to eat it is on triangular toast.

Answer 4

It's GEM.

24 carat is the measure of purity.
