Happy 2021! JANUARY BIRTHSTONES For babies born in January, #garnet is a colorful gemstone to start the New Year. Garnet gemstones are most commonly red but can be found in a range of other colors. It’s a beautiful gemstone to start the year with.... The word garnet comes from the 14th century Middle English word gernet, meaning dark red. The word is derived from Latin granatum, which means seed, and is called so because of the gemstone’s resemblance to the beautifully red seeds of the pomegranate. Garnet is the name of a group of minerals that come in a rainbow of colors, from the deep red of the pyrope garnet to the vibrant green of tsavorites. Some rare garnets are even blue, colorless, ormost rare of allchange colors in different lights. But the most common garnet color is a beautiful range of reds, from rust colored to deep violet-red. The garnet is a very durable gemstone, ranking 6.5-7.5 on the Mohs scale. It is found all over the world, including Wyoming, Czech Republic, Greece, Russia, Tanzania, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, and India. Mandarin Spessartite Garnets, also known as Mandarin garnets, are considered to be the most rare and expensive of all garnet gemstones. This beautiful gemstone is perfect for those who share January birthdays. #Jewellery #jewellerystore #gold #dtkfabfinds #rings #earrings #pendants #necklaces #watches #gems #present #engagement #bracelet #charms #clocks #jewelleryboxes #appraisal #birthstone #downtownkamloops #diamond #chains #art #pearls #gemstone #silver #weddingband #kamloopsbusiness

Individuals born in #November can choose between two sunny gemstones to brighten up this chilly month. #Topaz and #citrine look so similar, in fact, that they've often been mistaken for one another throughout history. They are unrelated minerals, and topaz occurs in a wide spectrum of colors far beyond yellow. Both of November's birthstones are abundant and affordably priced, even in large sizes, which means everyone can find a way to fit topaz and citrine into their budget. #Jewellery #jewellerystore #gold #dtkfabfinds #rings #earrings #pendants #necklaces #watches #gems #present #engagement #bracelet #charms #clocks #jewelleryboxes #appraisal #birthstone #downtownkamloops #diamond #chains #art #pearls #gemstone #silver #weddingband #kamloops

Ancient Gemstones: #Opals have been the muse of artists, writers, and other creatives since what seems like the beginning... Precious opals have two basic colors, their background color and their play of color. The background color is caused by impurities within the silica. Within the precious opal family, there are many different varieties of opal. Each has their own unique color combinations and character traits. Opals can be found orange, yellow, red, green, blue, or purpl...e. Black opals are considered one of the rarest gemstones, though they too can be a variety of dark colors. The other colors are caused by the way silica forms together. Silica is composed of a bunch of tiny spheres that adhere to one another. When they fuse, tiny gaps are created between them that allow the light to diffract. This diffraction causes a magnitude of different shapes and color combinations. #Jewellery #jewellerystore #gold #dtkfabfinds #rings #earrings #pendants #necklaces #watches #gems #present #engagement #bracelet #charms #clocks #jewelleryboxes #appraisal #birthstone #downtownkamloops #diamond #chains #art #pearls #gemstone #silver #weddingband
