Pink Gemstone Information.

If you are considering to purchase a pink gemstone or a jewel with a pink gem, there are some important issues that you should be aware of. Firstly remember that, pink sapphire is not the only pink gem stone around. While sapphires are great, the price point of this pink gem can easily drive it beyond many budgets. Pink tourmaline on the other hand is gorgeous and much cheaper than pink sapphire. In  technical terms pink sapphire is marginally harder than pink tourmaline but, this does not have much effect for jewelry provided that the design and metal weight are handled well. Pink tourmaline is available in various shades of pink and some of these color shades can closely resemble pink sapphire.

One pink gem stone that needs a clear explanation is Kunzite. This gem appears stunning but, the sad part is that it fades in color over time. Remember that, all Kunzite will lose color and become paler. Gem providers do not explain this fact to buyers for some selfish reason.

Another gimmick played even by the large gem and jewelry houses relates to pink topaz. Almost all the pink topaz gems that reach the markets today are nothing but, white topaz coated with a layer of pink. This means that the stone will show the white topaz through, if you recut or repolish the gemstone. Natural pink topaz is very very rare and even topaz gemstone miners do not remember when they found their last natural pink topaz piece!

Morganite belongs to the beryl family and is another option for a pink gemstone. This gem is hard and durable, the color does not fade but morganite is a very pale pink to start with. If you need a pink gem stone with a more saturated pink then morganite should not be your choice.
