Dionysus was so sorry that he cried into his wine and then spilled it on the clear quartz, staining it purple and creating the first amethyst. <p></p><p>The name amethyst is from the ancient Greek word "amethustos" which means "not drunk." Because of the Dionysys myth, the Ancient Greeks thought that drinking from a vessel fashioned from amethyst would keep them from getting drunk.

Please share your photos, too!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;">Filters can help distinguish between dyed and natural jade. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;">They can also help quickly sort stones when buying a lot. Say you are buying a lot of tsavorite garnet, you can use a filter to do a quick check to see if they are all at least giving you the same red reaction under the filter. If they don't, that's a heads up that some of the stones maybe something else. In the example photo above, I added some green tourmaline to a lot of tsavorites. As you can see, under the filter the tsavorite reacts red, while the tourmalines are showing the blue of the filter. Again, not a guarantee that the stones that react red are tsavorites, but at least you know the ones that don't, are not. Pretty cool, eh?</span><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;">You can find the <a href="https://www.prettyrock.com/php/product-detail.php?q=&v=&item=212150674" target="_blank"><b>jadeite filter HERE.</b></a></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;">Below are some photos showing the filter in use:</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.prettyrock.com/php/product-detail.php?q=&v=&item=212150674" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="890" data-original-width="1941" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGITnhn5inyQnssNo8RdqQgNpm3L5DRpDsMYD3qseiwpA3lOq22M10zNBIduapwAPyEu9dFctgp-TPG0KeD6DgnJikXovnnXLL_inQ2NI9aI9JarbH8OGV82VXsO00X4KzDYQi/s320/pr_jadite_filter-2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.prettyrock.com/php/product-detail.php?q=&v=&item=212150674" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="511" data-original-width="1083" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAAG6ZPHL96XJ95P7FmwjUu2jw5Onc-50zYO8TwmjnV6fUaY1TRt0aQEk20pX-8MnkXVeKaIvL4k8r_5HHRnklH-w8aysyUgtN7DxHLOFi_GxtDaWBgJBvkXPeB7_Xm3qMzEnr/s320/pr_jadite_filter-3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.prettyrock.com/php/product-detail.php?q=&v=&item=212150674" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1193" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Kj9iTQ4j-p2bjsrofUdSRl-LfZPDZHS6sef9sFDWCN20eF6AqEVI2nJFzk_H3yRYo17homSsK2QFyRohlRg7evqmezz-yAItUIrpe1pG1AIEsGx6yK273X3jZ3h4RWgxcNOk/s320/pr_jadite_filter-4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><ol style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0px;"><ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><b>Some Possible Jadeite Filter Reactions</b></ul><ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Natural Jade = Green</ul><ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Dyed Jade = Pink</ul><ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Tsavorite/Demantoid = Pink</ul><ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Alexandrite = Red</ul><ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Red Spinel = Bright Red</ul><ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Amethyst/Citrine = Red</ul><ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">White Zircon = Pink</ul><ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Yellow Apatite = Pink</ul><ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Natural Blue Topaz = Pink</ul><ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Silver Topaz = Pink</ul></ol></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">A Post from PrettyRock.com</div>emcroriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11588678408628976938noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21544346.post-23611011924934182882021-01-27T13:11:00.004-05:002021-01-27T13:11:54.575-05:0010% off Coupon from PrettyRock.com - Ends 1/31/21<p> </p><h3 align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 24.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">10% off all orders</span></strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 16.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Diamond ring made entirely of diamond!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
see the full story here: <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2018/11/12/jony-ive-diamond-ring">https://9to5mac.com/2018/11/12/jony-ive-diamond-ring</a><br />
<br />
"<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16.8px; font-style: italic;">Sir Jony Ive, Apple’s Chief Design Officer, and renowned industrial designer Marc Newson – having curated the (RED) auction five years ago – have, this year, designed a unique ring, made exclusively for (RED) by Diamond Foundry®. Consistent with their mutual obsession with transforming raw material into objects of value, Ive & Newson’s design is singular, clear and un-compromised by the traditional metal settings and bands that have previously been required to create ‘diamond rings’. Theirs will be created by removing material rather than adding – an ambition made possible by the extraordinary scale of the stone which will enable the ring to be completely made of this material.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16.8px; font-style: italic;"><br /></span>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16.8px; font-style: italic;">
Creating a ring-shaped diamond is no small feat; the diamond block will be faceted with several thousand facets, some of which are as small as several hundred micrometers. The interior ring will be cylindrically cut out for the desired smoothness using a micrometer thick water jet inside which a laser beam is cast. The finished ring will have between 2000-3000 facets which has never been seen before on a single piece.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16.8px; font-style: italic;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16.8px; font-style: italic;">
The gemstone will be created by Diamond Foundry®, the certified carbon neutral diamond producer who has pioneered and developed the proprietary technology to form diamonds safely and sustainably."</div>
