What are Gemstone Beads?
Gemstones Beads and Pearls are gemstones in round, square and other shapes that are processed especially for jewelry production. Gemstones occur in nature and the price of gemstones depends on the rarity of the stone. They are particularly popular in the manufacture of jewelry because they add value to the appearance of the jewelry.
Different Types of Gemstone Beads
There are several hundreds of types of gemstones. I have pointed out the most important types of gemstones here in the list.
1. Agate
Natural agate gemstones can come in all color variations. Agate is a variety of the mineral quartz. When the gemstones are formed, annual rings are created, which make the stones look beautiful.
2. Amazonite
This gemstone got its name from the belief that it comes from the Amazon jungle. In truth, the Amazonite gemstone occurs in countries such as Brazil, Madagascar, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Australia, Russia and the USA and is mined from granite stone. The color is various kinds of green color tones.
3. Amethyst
Amethyst is one of the best-selling gemstones in the world and is very popular for making jewelry. The ancient Greeks believed that amethyst had a protective effect. Amethyst is found in Brazil, Argentina, Namibia, Canada and the U.S. The color ranges from red-violet to purple.
4. Black Obsidian
Charms are actually small jewelry components that are used for necklaces or bracelets. Smaller charms are also ideal for earrings. Just be creative!
5. Carnelian
Carnelian is one of the agate gemstones and has its name from the Latin (carnis) which means meat when translated. This is supposed to indicate the color of the stone, which is red orange.
6. Citrine
Citrines belong to the quartz gemstones and are created by heating the amethyst. As a result, the amethyst loses its purple color and changes to the yellow of citrine.
7. Coral
Almost only two types of coral are used to make jewelry. These are “Corallium rubrum” and “Corallium japonicum”. The colors can vary from red, blue, black, brown to white. The beauty of the color is only fully revealed after polishing.
8. Fluorite
Fluorite is a mineral type of calcium fluoride and is simply referred to as a fluorite gemstone in jewelry making. This mineral has been used since ancient times.
9. Garnet
Garnet takes its name from the Latin “Granatus” which stands for pomegranate seeds. If you look at the color gemstones you understand why they were named that way. Although Garnet is known for its dark red color, it can also be found in yellow, pink, green, gray, or white.
