~ What to look for when buying gem stones : 4cs ( Color Clarity Carat Cut )

The colour is one of the most important attributes to look for when purchasing a stone ~ Top color in stones adds to their value

The clarity is an attribute of a gemstone that refers to how clear a stone is ~ Some gemstones are known to have excellent clarity and only under high magnification will any inclusions be found ~ Others are known for some inclusions and if not excessive will still cut a very nice stone and do not affect their desirability ~ GIA grading standards break these types of stones into stone Types

Type I: Usually clean ( aquamarine citrine tanzanite ... )

Type II: Inclusions common ( peridot sapphire tourmaline garnet [all] spinel [all] ... )

Type III: Normally have inclusions ( emerald rubellite red beryl ... )

With Type II some inclusions are expected and do not affect them being desirable ; as with Type III , unless they have many inclusions they are still cut into very nice stones

The carat weight of the stone is important due to the value of the stone ~ Gems are typically sold based on the number of carats

The cut or shape of the stone ~ The dimensions of a stone helps cutters determine how a stone will be cut and for customers it is the cut they are seeking (e.g. oval round marquise pear princess trillian square emerald heart etc.)
