Popular Semi-Precious Stones at Nalaka Gems

Spinel: Brilliant sparkle, versatile range of color spanning from red to blue, pink, and purple, spinel is an increasingly popular gemstone among collectors and jewelry enthusiasts. Its exceptional hardness and clarity make it a durable choice for everyday jewelry.

Zircon: It is the most confused one with cubic zirconia, but actually, it is a natural gemstone, unparalleled for its brilliance and remarkable shades of blue, green, and colorless. Since it has a high refractive index, zircon reveals a diamond-like sparkle and turns into an eye-catching adornment in a ring, necklace, or earrings.

Chrysoberyl: The piercing golden yellow to greenish shades give it a particular importance. This stone is really tough and shows very good clarity. Included in its varieties are cat’s eye chrysoberyl, which possesses a very striking optical phenomenon called chatoyancy, where an appearance of a cat’s eye can be seen. That makes it so striking for those who like rare and unusual stones.

Garnet: The deep-red variety has been treasured since ancient times for its symbolic meanings of passion and protection. But it also comes in other colors, like green and orange, which make it fit for a wide range of jewelry designs.

Tourmaline: Possibly one of the most colorful of all gemstones, tourmaline comes in a rainbow of colors from vibrant pink and greens to striking bi-color and tri-color stones. Because it often hosts many colors in one stone, tourmaline is a designer favorite for its ability to create attention-getting, one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces.

Moonstone: Perhaps one of the most famous stones for its moon-like glow within, it is a mineral entity characterized by its delicate play of light, called adularescence.
