Iidayimani zisenokuba ngumhlobo osenyongweni wentombazana, kodwa azingomhlobo kuphela.Xa kufikwa kwibhokisi yobucwebe bendalo, loo khabhoni engenambala yincam nje yomkhenkce.Amatye angaphantsi kwexabiso eliphantsi afika ngemibala eyahlukeneyo kunye neentlobo, kwaye ahlala ephantsi kuneenketho ezaziwayo.
“Amagugu akufuneki abe mahle,” utshilo uGqirha gemologist ophumeleleyo, umthandi gem kunye neLas Vegan yendawo uHeidi Sarno Straus.Ukuthanda kwakhe iigugu zaqala eneminyaka emi-5, xa wafumana umsesane ngendandatho yeglasi efana nedayimane.Uya kuyinxiba yonke indawo.UStraus uthi unokwenza ingxelo efanayo enefuthe eliphezulu ngeringi enkulu ye-cocktail enamatye anqabileyo.“Akuyomfuneko ukuba ibize ingalo enye nomlenze omnye,” utshilo uStrauss.â€?Unokuba nomtsalane ngaphandle kokuphambana.
Olunye uhlobo??Ikharati.Ubunzima belitye.Ngokutsho kwe-GIA, enye i-carat (0.2 grams) inobunzima obufanayo nekliphu yephepha.
Olunye uhlobo??ukusika.Ilitye lendalo linokunqunyulwa kwiimilo ezininzi ezahlukeneyo, ezifana nobuhlalu, iipilisi, i-inlays kunye ne-cabochons.
Olunye uhlobo??imatrix.Amatye ajikeleze amatye anqabileyo.Isenokukhangeleka “njengomthambo” okwilitye elinqabileyo, njengakwi-turquoise.
Olunye uhlobo??Ubunzima bukaMoh.Ukuqina okanye ukuqina kweeminerali ngu-1-10 kweli nqanaba, kunye nelitye elinzima (i-diamond) liyi-10 kunye nelitye elithambileyo (i-talc) li-1. Lithiywe ngegama le-geologist uFriedrich Mohs.
Intsomi ithi amatye anqabileyo athile anamandla akhethekileyo, anika amandla, umdla okanye impilo kumntu onawo.Asinakutsho ukuba oku kuyinyani na, kodwa sifuna ukukukholelwa.“Xa ndinxiba amatye anqabileyo, ndihlala ndiziva ndingcono ngokwasemzimbeni kunangaphambili,” utshilo uStrauss.Ngubani owaziyo?
Kukho izizathu zenzululwazi zokuba kutheni amatye anqabileyo emangalisa.Udidi ngalunye lwelitye lukhangeleka ngathi lubonakala, lunemibala, kunye ne-iridescent, ngenxa yokuba i-geology eyinkimbinkimbi, i-chemistry, kunye neemeko ezichanekileyo zizenza zibe nokwakheka, ezidla ngokuthatha amawaka eminyaka okanye iibhiliyoni zeminyaka.Ngokomzekelo, ngokutsho kweGemological Institute of America (GIA), ezinye zeesampulu zeolivine eziluhlaza eziqaqambileyo zika-Agasti ziphezulu njenge-4.5 yezigidigidi zeminyaka ubudala kwaye zafikelela emhlabeni njengenxalenye yeemeteorites.
Ukuze uqonde ngokupheleleyo i-necklace elengayo, nceda uthathe ixesha lokufunda ukubunjwa kwamatye ayo.Ukuba akukho nto yimbi, uya kuba nempendulo eyodwa kwizincomo ezizayo.
I-turquoise ye-turquoise idla ngokuba mcaba kwaye ingqukuva, njengamaqhekeza e-vanilla.Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-garnet inqunywe kwii-noodle ezincinci.Kutheni amatye anqabileyo abumba amatye anqabileyo ngokwahlukileyo?inzululwazi!
Amatye anqabileyo ziiminerali ezinokwakheka kwekristale ethile ekhula emhlabeni ngokwemichiza yazo.Ilitye kufuneka lisikwe ngokwesakhiwo salo.Injongo yokusika amatye anqabileyo kukuphucula umbala.“Yonke le nto imalunga nokukhanya okungenayo nokuphuma elityeni,” utshilo uStrauss.zisikwa ilitye kwisakhiwo sekristale esikhulu, ukuze ube nombala odumileyo.
1. Alexandrite: Ifunyenwe eRashiya, le gemstone iyahluka phakathi kobomvu kunye nohlaza okwesibhakabhaka kuxhomekeke kumthombo wokukhanya.
Akunyanzelekanga ukuba ubhubhe ukuze ube nobungangamsha bendalo.Maninzi amatye anqabileyo anemibala enexabiso elifanelekileyo, utshilo uStrauss.Ucebisa abantu ukuba bajonge kwivili lombala ukuze bafumane inkuthazo.Ngokomzekelo, ukuba uthanda i-yellow kunye ne-blue blue ngexesha elifanayo, ngoko isiqwenga sobucwebe obubekwe kunye ne-citrine kunye ne-aquamarine iya kuba yinto emangalisayo.UStraus wathi umbala omfusa-blowu wetanzanite (ofumaneka eTanzania kuphela) wambeka kwimeko yeemvakalelo.
5. Howlite: Ngamanye amaxesha kuthiwa “yi-white turquoise.”Le minerali echakiyo ine-porosity eyaneleyo ukuba inokudaywa kweminye imibala.
7. ILabradorite: ILabradorite yifeldspar njengelitye lenyanga.Eli litye lidume ngemibala eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, eluhlaza, e-orenji kunye nephuzi.
9. Ilitye lenyanga: Le yenye yezona zimbiwa zixhaphakileyo emhlabeni.Yenziwe nge-feldspar kwaye ifumana ukukhazimla komlingo kwi-microscopic layer esasaza ukukhanya.
I-mood ring yaduma kakhulu ngeminyaka yoo-1970.Ezi zindandatho ezihlakaniphile ziquka amacandelo angenayo ubushushu, njengekristale yolwelo okanye iphepha eliguqula umbala, kwaye zihonjiswe ngeglasi okanye ilitye.Isiphumo sinomdla kakhulu, kancinane njenge-thermometer enxibekayo.
10. I-Morganite: ilitye elinemibala ye-salmon evela kwintsapho ye-emerald kunye ne-aquamarine beryl.Ithiywe ngegama lomxhasi-mali uJP Morgan.
11. I-Opal: Ndiyabulela kwi-silica engaphakathi kwelitye, la matye anqabileyo ahlukeneyo ayakwazi ukumenyezela kuwo wonke umbala onokucinga.
13. Tanzanite: Eli litye eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lafunyanwa ngo-1967 kwaye lathiywa nguTiffany & Co.
14. I-Tourmaline: Le minerali ikhazimlisa kwi-triangular prism shape, ekhoyo ngemibala eyahlukeneyo.Jonga i-watermelon tourmalines (i-pink kunye neluhlaza) kwaye ujabulele ukuzonwabisa kwehlobo.
15. I-turquoise: Ngaba wakha wazibuza ukuba kutheni i-turquoise ihlobene noMzantsi-ntshona?Eli bhanti lamatye aluhlaza-luhlaza lisasazwe kulo lonke elase-Arizona, eCalifornia, eNew Mexico, nakwi-Nevada, enentlenga eninzi.
16. I-Zircon: Le minerali yeminyaka eyibhiliyoni-ayinakuphutha kwi-synthetic gem cubic zirconia-isetyenziswa ikakhulu ukwenza ezinye izinto ezingafihliyo ezicacileyo.
Iimveliso eziveliswe kweli lizwe azifanelekanga kuphela kwiimarike zamafama.Ukongeza kwi-gypsum ekruqulayo kunye ne-limestone, ishishini lezemigodi laseNevada likwavelisa iintlobo ngeentlobo zamatye anqabileyo anomdla."Ezinye zezona opals ezimnyama zibalaseleyo kwihlabathi zembiwa kwingingqi yeViking Valley kwikona esenyakatho-ntshona yelizwe," ingcali ye-PhD gemologist uHobart M. King wabhala kwinqaku leGeology.com elithi "Nevada Gem Mining" Tao.
I-Opal yasekwa emva kogqabhuko-dubulo lwentaba-mlilo kwizigidi zeminyaka eyadlulayo.Enyanisweni, eli lilitye lesizwe elisemthethweni!Ngaphezu koko, akukho zidiphozithi zendalo zeminerali zinokufumaneka kwenye indawo e-United States.Ukongeza, ngokutsho kwe-travenevada.com, ilizwe lethu linemigodi eluhlaza kakhulu e-United States.
Ukuba unomdla, unokufumana amagugu akho kunye neeminerali apha eNevada.Ngokutsho kwe-Bureau of Land Management (BLM), elawula uninzi lomhlaba kumaphandle e-Nevada, "i-rattlesnake" linani elifanelekileyo lemizekelo yeeminerali, amatye, amatye anqabileyo, iinkuni ezinomthi, kunye neefosili ze-invertebrate.“???Lo msebenzi unokuqhutywa kumhlaba kawonke-wonke, kodwa nceda uqhagamshelane ne-blm.gov/basic/rockhounding ngolwazi oluthe vetshe.
Ukuba ufuna ukuthatha inxaxheba kwimisebenzi ekhokelwayo, nceda u tyelele i-Otteson Brothers Turquoise Mine (ottesonbrothersturquoise.com/mine-tours, $150-$300).Ukhenketho luquka nokwembiwa kwe-turquoise.Okanye, ukuba uyafuna, ungahlala ekhaya kwaye ubukele i-Amazon Prime show malunga neshishini losapho iTurquoise Fever.
