More gemstone trivia ...
Ever since paraiba tourmaline hit the market around 1990, consumers have become very interested in copper-bearing gems. Prospective buyers will often ask us if some gem or other is copper-bearing, as if that were a special mark of value. But there actually quite a number of gems that contain copper, many of them not particularly valuable.
What are all the different copper-bearing gems?
