The Most Beautiful Tourmaline Of Them All


Tourmaline comes in so many varieties of colors like colorless, pink, red (rubellite) green which for those who believe in crystal magic is believed to enhance androgen that's why women are advised not to wear them but the rarest of all tourmaline is the 'paraiba tourmaline' named after the region Paraiba in Brazil where it was first mined & paraiba tourmalines also comes in many different shades of bright blue colors & the rarest & most valuable of them all is the 'neon carribean blue' pictured below. 
This image is decades old & been used by GIA to demonstrate the finest color of tourmalines & it seems no other paraiba tourmaline possess such color making it one of the world's most valuable & rarest gems & even more rare than most precious stones there is like diamonds, rubies, sapphires & emeralds!

 Tourmalines have an interesting property for when heated or robbed they became electrically charged & this phenomenon is called 'piezoelectricity' and 'pieroelectricity' respectively.

 Tourmaline gems are relatively expensive. The most common color which is pink costs hundreds of dollars per carat while rarer colors like the paraiba tourmaline ranges from a few thousans to tens of thousands of dollars per carat!

 And I Have A Perfect Song For This!🎼

November Traditional Birthstone: Imperial Topaz

Image
T opaz is the traditional birthstone for November & it is one of the most popular gem varieties. Although topaz comes in all the colors of the rainbow from one of my personal favorite the very affordable blue topaz which is considered a semi-precious stone  to the very rare imperial topaz varieties considered as precious stones that comes in many different shades of colors except blue & topaz are durable enough to be worn on rings with a hardness of 8 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness. However only a yellow to golden yellow to orange varieties are known as the true birthstone for November. The jewelty industry recently added semi-precious stone Citrine as part of the November birthstone but it has no magical powers to November babies. Topaz comes in many different parts of the world but the finest imperial topaz tends to be exclusively found in fewer places like Russia & Brazil. Alot people confused topaz with citrine and they do have an uncanny similarity e

Practical Materialism💸

Am I Materialistic? That's a wonderful question ladies & gentlemen! Despite my recent aquisition of this extremely rare vivid orange diamond from Leibish & Co. I don't think I am materialistic  because materialistic people only care the most about expensive things and buying them for the sake of their image. Like people who buys a overpriced luxury leather goods or branded items like Havaiinas rubber flip flops over regular rubber flip flops or iPhones versus regular smartphones which work pretty much desame and you still can't fuck both, or people who only takes care of imported expensive breed of dogs or cats and totally avoid regular ordinary pets or those who only wear branded clothes and underwear like Victoria's Secret lingeries which people would never see anyway. These idiots are the real materialistic because they are concerned of their image! They buy unecessary things or spend their money to feed their bruised & fake egos and then show them

Lost Ancient Philippine Goldsmith Technique

Image
Last June  I blogged  about the lost ancient goldsmithing technique of ancient filipinos that no modern jewelers could replicate that are being displayed at The Bangko Sentral Ng Pilipinas Museum and Ayala Museum in Makati.  Today there is a revival of that lost jewelry making technique but no matter how hard modern jewelers tried to replicate the old ways of jewelry making they cannot copy an exact replica coz they've been missing something that we no longer have in modern times and I have this feeling that the ancient filipino goldsmiths are using ancient alien technology to make elaborate jewelries.  The granulation technique of the ancient filipino jewelries is the best in the history of mankind! Even better than the Etruscans. The tiny well rounded symmetrical granules must have been made by some laser and anti gravity thingy of some sort of  lost ancient alien technology. The fact that the ancient designs could not be totally copied by even he best of modern
