Hello people,
Like you guys, I am also very fond of colored gemstones and diamonds. I used to read a lot about them. There was this book “GEMSTONES” by Cally Hall, which inspired me to construct a website
www.valuablestones.com on the topic. It sure is a great book, very illustrated, finest & nicest pictures, the rarest colors, things that you never knew about the gemstones. She categorized the gemstones by colors and I was surprised to know that topaz comes in shades of blue, pink and red, and not just yellow. This book was one of my favorite books on gemstones.
I am a strong believer of astrology, zodiac signs, birthstones, tarots, sun signs etc. I used to read a lot of Linda Goodman and various articles on birthstones, astrology etc. In my website I have created a section for birthstones. It will help you learn the significance of your birthstone. What impacts does it has on your life, relations and future!
I developed an interest about the Ancient myths and folklore about these gemstones. The legends behind each and every stone, their healing abilities, their relation with good and evil etc. Gems in the Ancient Egypt, gems in the Roman civilization, gem related to Cleopatra etc.

There is a section of ancient collections. It has beautiful pictures of uniquely handcrafted art pieces. For example, a rock crystal ball supported by Japanese dragons carved out of agate stone, a 12th century Peruvian god made from gold and turquoise, A MERMAN In a typical 16th-century pendant, a pearl forms the torso, with diamonds and rubies set in gold around it. OBSIDIAN AXE, A natural volcanic glass, obsidian could be fashioned into a razor-sharp tool and many more!!
I have collected vast information and pictures about the Largest Diamonds of the Earth. Diamonds as big as your palm and weighing more than 3000 carats!!
