What are natural stones? What is their history?

Natural stones – as the name implies – are rocks, minerals and solids formed naturally as a result of various geological processes. Different types of them vary in structure, chemical composition, as well as properties. Natural stone has been used by humans for thousands of years, both in construction and for making jewelry. As early as in the Paleolithic period, necklaces were made from bones, which were decorated with pieces of minerals, such as chalcedony and jade. Lapis lazuli, turquoise, beryl – these natural stones were used by the ancient Egyptians to make jewelry. Despite the passage of years, the minerals are still as popular as they were back then, and today they are used to make exquisite necklaces, colorful bracelets or unique rings.

Natural stones – properties and characteristics

• High hardness.

Depending on the type, a natural stone can have different degree of hardness. Thus, on the Mohs scale, which is used to determine the resistance of minerals to scratching, a diamond has a maximum score of 10, a sapphire 9, and an amethyst 7.

• Transparency.

Some types of natural stones, such as diamonds, attribute their attractive appearance to their characteristic intense luster and transparency.

• Rich colors.

The color of natural stones depends on their chemical composition, degree of clarity and texture. Blue sapphires, red rubies and green emeralds – Gemsonyx is an online store where you can find natural stones in an extensive palette of colors.
