Why are gemstones known as an attractive crystal?
Gemstones are admired for their color, brilliance, and rarity. Their natural crystal structures interact with light in unique ways, creating beauty that has captivated people for centuries. At Mike Nekta New York, we celebrate gemstones not only for their sparkle but also for their symbolism and timeless appeal.
Where are gemstones found?
Gemstones are found all over the world, often in regions with unique geological conditions. For example, sapphires are commonly sourced from Sri Lanka and Madagascar, emeralds from Colombia, and rubies from Myanmar. At Mike Nekta New York, we carefully source gemstones from trusted suppliers to ensure authenticity and ethical practices.
How are gemstones formed?
Gemstones form deep within the earth under intense heat, pressure, and mineral-rich conditions. Each type of gemstone has its own formation process — for example, diamonds form from carbon under extreme pressure, while emeralds form from beryllium, aluminum, and chromium.
Can gemstones get scratched?
Yes, most gemstones can be scratched, as each has a different hardness on the Mohs scale. Diamonds are the hardest (rated 10), while others like emeralds and opals are softer and require more care. At Mike Nekta New York, we provide guidance on how to wear and care for your gemstones to preserve their beauty.
Can gemstones be lab grown?
Yes — many gemstones, including sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and even diamonds, can be grown in laboratories. Lab grown gemstones are chemically and optically identical to their natural counterparts but often more affordable and sustainable. At Mike Nekta New York, we offer both natural and lab grown gemstones, ensuring clients can choose the option that best suits their style and values.
