New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/10/2015 -- Gemstones are elements of minerals which when polished and cut are used for making jewelry and other ornaments, as well as for decoration purposes. Certain rocks or organic materials that are not considered as minerals are also consumed in making jewelry products and are hence considered to gemstones as well. While most of the gemstones are hard in nature, certain soft minerals are used in making jewelry owing to their luster and other properties exhibiting aesthetic value. In addition to jewelry, hardstone carvings and antiquity gems have been major luxury art forms as well. They are usually treated in order to improve the clarity or color of the stone, and can affect the value of the stone depending upon the extent and type of treatment. Certain gemstones are produced to imitate other gemstones. Such gemstones include synthetic moissanite and cubic zirconia which is a synthetic diamond stimulant consisting of zirconium oxide. These gemstones replicate the color and look the original stone but don't exhibit their physical and chemical properties. Moissanite has a higher refractive index as compared to diamond and has more "fire" when presented with an equivalent cut and sized diamond.
