"Taking its name from the Latin rubellus, meaning reddish, rubellite was rare in the ancient world. Its unique properties set it apart from other hard, red gemstones, generically known then as ruby or carbuncle. That distinction was lost during the Dark Ages but revived in the Enlightenment, as science undertook its quest to understand the nature of things. For two and a half centuries, rubellite has had a part of that great unraveling."

The Great Plains give way to the Rocky Mountains, which rise in ragged peaks six to seven thousand feet above the plains. The Rockies transition to the Colorado Plateau, a high desert of brightly colored sandstones a ..."

"Just over a century ago, celebrated Tiffany & Company gemologist George Frederick Kunz (1856 1932) published The Curious Lore of Precious Stones (1913), in which he wrote on birth or natal stones: The origin of the belief that to each month of the year a special stone was dedicated, and ... was endowed with a peculiar virtue for those born in that month and was their natal stone, may be traced back to the writings of Josephus, in the f ..."

"Precious opal is a rainbow made tangible. Its spectral blaze of color moves, changes, intensifies, fades, or disappears with the slightest change in perspective. Opal's intriguing play of color and unique atomic arrangement have made it the subject of scientific probing from early optics in the 1850s to high tech photonics today. Equally challenging has been discovering opal's place in history. Its beauty begs to be enshrined in myt ..."
