Main Semi-precious gems Here are a few semi-precious gems from the quartz, garnet and tourmaline families. Click a stone to find out more about it.

Top left Semi-precious gems Here are a few semi-precious gems from the quartz, garnet and tourmaline families. Click a stone to find out more about it. Quartz Quartz is a crystal form of silicon dioxide (Si0 2 ), and grows in a 6-sided prism ending in a 6-sided pyramid. Smoky quartz The colour of smoky quartz is thought to come from either iron impurities, titanium impurities or irradiation. It’s relatively common.

Quartz Quartz is a crystal form of silicon dioxide (Si0 2 ), and grows in a 6-sided prism ending in a 6-sided pyramid. Citrine The colour of citrine is thought to come from iron impurities or irradiation. Relatively rare in its natural form, it’s more common for a citrine to actually be a heat- treated amethyst.

Quartz Quartz is a crystal form of silicon dioxide (Si0 2 ), and grows in a 6-sided prism ending in a 6-sided pyramid. Amethyst The colour of amethyst is thought to come from iron impurities or irradiation. This deep violet colour is quite rare.

Garnet Garnets are a group of minerals varying in the general formula X 3 Y 2 (SiO 4 ) 3. The crystal structure is usually dodecahedral (12- faced) although it can also be cubic (6- faced). Pyrope (“Red Garnet”) Pyrope is a magnesium-aluminium silicate - Mg 3 Al 2 (SiO 4 ) 3. It is formed in high-pressure rocks.

Garnet Garnets are a group of minerals varying in the general formula X 3 Y 2 (SiO 4 ) 3. The crystal structure is usually dodecahedral (12- faced) although it can also be cubic (6- faced). Rhodolite Rhodolite is a variety of Pyrope with a “rosy” colour. It can easily be mistaken for the more valuable Pink Tourmaline.

Garnet Garnets are a group of minerals varying in the general formula X 3 Y 2 (SiO 4 ) 3. The crystal structure is usually dodecahedral (12- faced) although it can also be cubic (6- faced). Spessartite Spessartite is a manganese aluminium garnet - Mn 3 Al 2 (SiO 4 ) 3. It was first found in Spessart, Germany. There are only a few places in the world where this gem occurs.

Tourmaline The group of minerals called tourmalines some of the most chemically complicated silicates. The constituent elements vary to give a wide variety of colours. Blue-green As with many types of tourmaline, blue- green tourmaline is dichroic – depending on the viewing angle, it appears either blue or green. The colour is thought to be due to traces of chromium and copper.

Tourmaline The group of minerals called tourmalines some of the most chemically complicated silicates. The constituent elements vary to give a wide variety of colours. Yellow The colour of yellow tourmaline is thought to be due to traces of magnesium. It is found in Malawi and Zambia.
