Classification of Gemstones

Naturally Occurring Gemstones

Naturally mined gemstones are among the rarest and most expensive materials in the world. For instance, high-quality Alexandrite can cost ₹7 lakhs ($10,000) per carat, Emerald ₹2 lakhs ($3,000), and Ruby ₹70,000 (~$1,000). Due to such prices, many buyers cannot afford them, which led to the rise of lab-grown gemstones in the 1960s. These natural stones are prized for their origin, but their limited availability and increasing demand make them inaccessible to many.

Treated Natural
Gemstones

Most gemstones sold today are treated using methods like irradiation, dyeing, glass-filling, or fracture-filling to enhance color and clarity. However, such treatments are temporary. Over time, these stones can lose their shine, especially those treated with lead-glass or additives. In contrast, lab-grown gemstones are not artificially enhanced after growth. They retain their original luster and quality, offering a more stable and reliable alternative to treated natural stones.
