White Quartz Gems
Quartz makes up one of the most popular gemstone groups in the world. The quartz family is the second most abundant mineral found in the Earth's crust. Quartz is known as being the definitive mineral for 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness. Other gemstones are often compared to quartz when it comes to classifying them as being hard, soft or durable. Quartz comes in a variety of colors and forms. Some quartz gems gems are transparent, while others are completely opaque. White quartz, also known as 'colorless' rock crystal, is one of the most common transparent white gemstone types, and it is quite suitable for most jewelry designs, including daily-wear rings.

However, when used as a diamond substitute, white quartz lacks the fire and dispersion of diamond and sapphire, but it offers excellent affordability and can be found in extremely large sizes. As a diamond alternative, colorless quartz should be given a round-brilliant or diamond-cut. It is not uncommon to find white quartz in oversized cocktail rings and fashion or 'costume' jewelry, often in huge weights and sizes.

When white diamonds simply aren't practical or cost-effective gems, jewelers will often seek out alternative white gems, such as white quartz and white topaz. Clean, faceted topaz and quartz gemstones can often be found weighing 10 carats or more.

The opals I ordered are absolutely beautiful, very fiery and well-cut. The pictures online didn’t do them justice. Shipping did take longer than expected (I chose the standard option), but the gemstones I received were definitely worth the wait.

I have purchased gems from Gem Select twice a year, for more than a few years.Gem select is the best place to buy gems. The selection and presentation are genuine. What you see is what you get, keeping in mind the carat weight, and measurements they have listed. Never have I been disappointed with any gem I have received from them. Nan

GemSelect has a great selection of smaller cabochons. Many other retailers do not. Plus, the photo of the stone is the one you are purchasing. Shipping from Thailand is nearly as fast as from within the US. Stones are tightly and neatly packaged.

Picking a garnet to match a setting. Good selection, It would have been better if a side by side color comparison was possible.
