...are rarely discussed here, and I am a little curious as to why that is. It seems that transparent, facetted stones hold the biggest attraction for members of this forum, and generally, they do for me too - but imperial jade can be just as costly as many of the other gemstones discussed here. Sugilite and charoite come in splendid colours, and the colour play of precious opal is surely one of the most beautiful things that nature has rendered. Lapis lazuli and turquoise have a rich and ancient history as gem stones, and feldspar can display optical effects not seen anywhere else.
Do these types of gem stones appeal less to you guys?
