- Most gems form naturally as minerals within the Earth. Most form as crystals, solids whose atoms are arranged in highly ordered repeating patterns called crystal systems. Learning about mineral crystallization and the geological processes involved in gem formation will help gemologists understand some of the properties they’ll encounter in gemstones.
Crystal Specimens Composed of Different Minerals
Even if a closed passage reopens and fluid again enters a cavity, a totally different mineral may crystallize over the existing material. Indeed, temperature, pressure, and the chemistry of the fluid solution often vary over time. Different conditions will produce different mineral crystals within a cavity. When opening a deposit, you’ll commonly see different minerals covering earlier layers.
Inclusions
Such changes of conditions within a cavity is also one cause of gemstone inclusions. A new crystal may start to grow on an older and larger one, only to have its growth process stop. If conditions that allow the original crystal to grow resume, the older crystal will grow over the newer one.

Whom Can We Trust If No One Is Trustworthy?
One of my favorite quips from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is when Tom is defined as “a glittering hero…the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” and there were “some that believed that he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.” With these few words, Twain captured the essence of leadership in our world. Those who get to the top are the fiercest, most determined, and most ruthless. Today, the latter quality has become so intense that we can no longer believe our leaders, and certainly not trust them to have our best interest in mind.
I am not accusing any leader in particular, or even leaders as a whole. It is simply that in an egoistic world, where people vie to topple one another on their way to the top, the one at the top is clearly the one who trampled over and knocked down more people than anyone else. Concisely, to get to the top in an egoistic world you have to be the biggest egoist.
So how do we know whom to trust? We don’t know and we cannot know. All we know is that we are in the dark.
In a culture of unhinged selfishness, any conspiracy theory seems reasonable, while truth is nowhere to be found. When every person who says or writes something is trying to promote some hidden agenda, you have no way of knowing who is right, what really happened, or if anything happened at all.
The only way to get some clarity in the news and goodwill from our leaders is to say “Enough!” to our current system and build something entirely independent. The guiding principle of such a system should be “information only,” no commentary. Commentary means that information has already been skewed. Information means saying only what happened, as much as possible, not why, and not who is to blame and who we should praise.
Concurrently, we must begin a comprehensive process of self-teaching. We have to know not only what is happening, but why we skew and distort everything. In other words, we have to know about human nature and how it inherently presents matters according to its own subjective view, which caters to one’s own interest. To “clear” ourselves from that deformity, we must learn how to rise above our personal interest and develop an equally favorable attitude toward others. This is our only guarantee that our interpretation of things will be even and correct.
Once we achieve such an attitude, we will discover that the bad things we see in our world reflect our own, internal wickedness. Our ill-will toward others creates a world where ill-will governs, and so the world is filled with wickedness and cruelty. Therefore, all we need in order to create positive leadership-and to generally eliminate ill-will from the world-is to generate goodwill within us. When we nurture goodwill toward others, we will fill the world with goodwill. As a result, the world will fill with kindness and compassion. By changing ourselves, we will create a world that is opposite from the world we have created through our desires to govern, patronize, and often destroy other people.
Nice essay.........but........what has got to do with gemstones?.........= )
Edit; besides, we as the human race have only been here for several thousand years. How does that compare to the millions, or billions of years that these gemstones have evolved before we got our hands on them?.....= )
Wow! That was amazing. Thank you for sharing.
This is great to watch. Beautiful .Blessings.🙏🙌😇🌍🌛🌞🌫🕰💛🖐✋🤘❤
You are absolutely amazing! No matter how many videos you do they are all spectacular and so informative! I’ve learned so much just watching your videos. Wow, I love me some sparklies!
Constance, you are not alone! I'd love some more sparkles too and was just looking at fancy coloured Tanzanites, online of course. I already own this gem but not a natural/fancy coloured. To be honest, I don't think that I will ever stop buying what I too believe to be part of the earth's history. I'll just refer to this year as being a slow one. Kris.🇦🇺💖💎
@James Hama I’m hanging in here! Hoping 2022 is a much better year with a drop in inflation and a rise in availability of a number of products. Maybe the USA should bring some of the factories back to home soil. Break the dependency on China!
@James Hama where are you located? I’m in the Central Valley of California, near Modesto.
👍 thanks for showing this stunning god created germ stone's, it's breath taking.
Glad you enjoyed it
Millions of years in the making just to be kissed on the wearer's hand by the Sun. What true wonders in which we live. This Earth, our galaxy gives us romance that is timeless.
How much I admire wearing my beautiful gems and never tire of looking at these pieces of history that have been uncovered from beneath the earth's surface and ended up set in stunning jewellery so that I can show them off. Just for the record, the oldest mineral found on earth is the Zircon and is very much underrated. Thanks once again Andrew, Kris.🇦🇺💎
hi there Kris, Glad you enjoyed it, Sad to say can't make my personal videos as of the moment because I am too busy with my studies. hopefully by the end of January I can produced my own videos. By the way thanks for the info, I didn't know Zircon was oldest mineral found on earth. Good to Know. Take care Dear and Happy Holidays.
