Gamehouse Gem Shop Information
Gamehouse Gem Shop TipsThrough our day to day movements our diamonds get smudged and soiled. Remember that all it takes is a few minutes and a little care to keep that diamond as fiery as the day you first saw it. Lotions, soaps, our natural skin oils, can cause film and grime on diamonds and inhibit their brilliance. Want to keep that Brilliance and Shine? Diamonds require cleaning so that maximum amounts of light can refract fiery brilliance. Even when we are not wearing them, they collect dust. The main kite-shaped facets on the crown are divided in two, giving the stone more brilliance than a standard round brilliant cut. An extremely rare red diamond resides at the Smithsonian as well. The stone is not pure red but has a slight brown hue, which makes it appear like a fine red garnet and indeed, it was once purchased as such at an estate sale. This is the De Young Red, a 5,03-carat, brilliant cut red diamond. Gamehouse Gem Shop AdviceAnother huge mineral in the exhibit is the Smithsonite, named for James Smithson, who bequeathed the funds to establish the Smithsonian Institution. He first discovered this greenish zinc carbonate mineral from the Kelly Mine in New Mexico. This spectacular group of crystals is from Iyo, Japan and look like something from Superman’s home. As stunning as this cut topaz is, another display at the Smithsonian is equally dazzling and awe-inspiring. This color of topaz can be found in Mexico and Utah, but when it’s exposed to sunlight, will become clear. Other spectacular displays of natural crystals include a cluster of Stibnite, an ore of antimony, which has a bright metallic luster. That’s a sherry-colored topaz “spray” from the Thomas Range in Utah. Gamehouse Gem Shop Facts
