Three amber "heroes"

Last week the Kaliningrad Amber Combine pleased all stone lovers with the discovery of three unique amber nuggets at once. These stones were named: "Dragon's Tooth" (1076 grams), named after the association caused by the morphological features of the stone; "Persistent" (1244 grams), named after the destroyer "Persistent", the flagship of the Baltic Fleet; "MosVOKU" (1398 grams), named after the Moscow Higher Combined Arms Command Orders of Lenin, the October Revolution and Zhukov Red Banner Higher Military School. Finds of three unique amber nuggets within one are extremely rare. The assessment and determination of the status of the "precious stone" will subsequently be carried out by the Gokhran Russia. And now it can be argued that these stones are worthy to bear their names and be presented at exhibition venues.

Но помимо редкости цвета и высокой стоимости таких камней, многие розовые камни выделяются одной замечательной особенностью – они проявляют плеохроизм, то есть в зависимости от положения осмотра камня он может иметь дополнительные оттенки – оранжевый или пурпурный.

Currently, gemstones are produced by two fundamentally different technological methods - the High Pressure - High Temperature method (“HPHT”, High-pressure & High-temperature) and the Chemical Vapor Deposition (“CVD”, Chemical vapor deposition) method. The "HPHT" method is the most tested classical synthesis method, which can be used both carbon deposition on diamond from flux melts and catalytic reactions. In "CVD" synthesis, diamond growth occurs on a seed during carbon deposition mainly from a gaseous medium at relatively low temperatures and pressures.

Jewelry and precious stones are just such a category of goods, when buying which you need to pay attention to many criteria.

Sogdianite is a rather rare mineral and more often it can be found as a collection material (moreover, in systematic collections), and it is extremely rare in jewelry.
