What are the most expensive gems in the world at present?

In fact, in this world, as long as it is rare and beautiful to a certain extent, even the most common crystal is priceless, so there is a saying that it is not the most expensive, only more expensive. However, in business, the traditional gems are diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds and emeralds, commonly known as the five major gems.

First of all, diamonds

Diamond is known as the king of gems, and it is well-deserved king of gems. Diamond has the highest hardness and high refractive index in nature. After polishing, it will show a very obvious diamond luster and a moderate dispersion value. Perfect cutting can well show the fire color of diamonds, which is not available in other gems.

Second, ruby.

Ruby, like diamonds, also symbolizes love and is known as the stone of love. In addition, in the Bible, ruby is the most precious of all gems. Therefore, compared with the diamond symbolizing love, ruby has a deeper history. In addition to symbolizing love, Burmese people also believe that rubies are invulnerable. If rubies are embedded in people's bodies, warriors will be invulnerable and invincible.

Third, sapphire.

Sapphire and ruby belong to sisters of the same family, but their colors are different. As a precious gem, it is inseparable from its high-quality gemological characteristics, high hardness, strong luster and bright colors, which makes people want to stop. Among sapphires, my favorite is cornflower, but sapphire is also sought after by many consumers.

Fourth, jade

Emerald is the most charming color. When you first see him, you will fall in love with him deeply. There are many legends about emeralds, so let's talk about one briefly today. When Alexander the Great of ancient Greece went to war, he always carried emeralds with him, thinking that his invincible strength was brought by emeralds. If you lose the emerald, Alexander will lose his magic and be abandoned by the goddess of victory. Every dagger made by the court in Istanbul is decorated with emeralds at a high price to exert its magical power.

Fifth, golden emeralds.

Emerald is famous mainly because it has very good special optical effects, one is cat's eye effect and the other is color-changing effect. Emerald cat's eye is the only gem that can be called cat's eye for short. Its eyeliner is very flexible and can move with the movement of light source.
