What's the relationship between jewelry and chemistry?
All jewels are natural minerals or synthetic substances. Natural rubies and sapphires are mainly composed of Al2O3, and their colors are different because they contain some other metal elements. Not to mention synthetic, chemical synthesis is definitely important. The following is some information about the composition of gemstones:

The chemical compositions of some common gems are introduced as follows:

Diamond, also known as King Kong, commonly known as Jin Gangzuan, diamond or diamond, is an allotrope of carbon with a hardness of 10, which is the hardest among minerals. Synthetic diamonds are also called synthetic diamonds.

Corundum is a transparent crystal with a hardness of 9, second only to diamond. Its main component is al2o3, and some are colorless, red, blue and Xing Cai. Colorless and transparent is also called white jade; Blue containing ti( = 4 * Rome iv) or fe( = 2 * Rome ii) and fe( = 3 * Rome iii) is called sapphire. Red containing cr( = 3 * Rome iii) is called ruby, also called ruby; Xing Cai's face is also known as the jewel of Xing Cai.

Beryl, also known as emeralds and emeralds, is a transparent to translucent crystal with a hardness of 7, mostly emeralds, light green, colorless or blue, yellow, white and pink, and its main component is 3beo al2o3 6sio2. Among them, the green color with cro3 is called green column jade, also called emerald or emerald; Iron is transparent blue and is called aquamarine; Rose containing cesium is called rose soul beryl.

Topaz, also known as topaz, is similar to crystal in appearance, often yellow and transparent, with hardness of 8, and its main chemical composition is al2[sio4](f, oh)2.

Jadeite and nephrite, commonly known as jadeite, are composed of naal(sio3)2, which is crystalline or dense, with strong green, light green or white. Green jadeite is often called jadeite, which is slightly transparent and has a hardness of 6.5 ~ 7, which is more difficult to dissolve than nephrite. The composition of nephrite is ca(mg, fe)3(sio3)4, and its hardness is 5.5 ~ 6.

Garnet is a fluorescent silicate with uncertain composition and has the following molecular formula: 3ro R2-O3 3so2, where R represents calcium, magnesium, iron or manganese, and also represents aluminum, iron, chromium or cobalt. The hardness is 6.5-7.5, transparent to slightly transparent, sometimes the optical properties are abnormal, showing birefringence, and the color translation is generally beautiful. The composition of fe3al2si3o 12 is called Guigarnet, which is usually red or pink with a slightly black appearance.

Opal contains water and silica, and its hardness is not as good as that of time. Its surface is often grape-shaped, with white ash, yellow brown and other colors, shiny like fat or pearls, opaque to slightly transparent. If it is beautiful breast-shaped, often red or green, with strong luster, and the cross section can reflect various beautiful colors, it is often called precious opal.

The crystal is hexagonal columnar pure-time crystal, colorless and transparent, with large refractive index. The internal mechanism is that those with smoky pottery color are called smoky crystals (commonly known as tea crystals) and those with black color are smoky crystals (commonly known as mo crystals). Nitrogen-containing organic matter is brown or yellow, which is called brown timely or topaz. Those with manganese and purple are called amethysts.

Chalcedony is transparent or translucent, and its composition is sio2, and its hardness is 7. There are meat red, light red, dark green, blood red and so on. Opaque is agate.

Jasper is deposited by siliceous substances, and its chemical components are sio2 _ 2 and fe2o3. Because it contains iron, various colors often appear. Its dark green is very similar to dark green chalcedony, dense and opaque.

Amber is composed of hydrocarbons (c 10h 16o), amorphous, transparent to translucent, reddish brown, with hardness of 2-2.5, and can be used for friction power generation.

Malachite is composed of cu2(oh)2co3, which is formed by copper-bearing minerals under the action of carbonic acid and water. Its luster is like a diamond, its color is green, and occasionally it has a twisted peacock tail.

The chemical composition of the main mineral that constitutes jadeite is Naal (Si2O3) 2. The English name of Emerald is the abbreviation of Spanish Picdo de jade, which means a gem worn around the waist. It is called jade because its color is uneven, and sometimes it is accompanied by red and green groups on a light-colored foundation. The beauty of color is like ancient red-feathered finches and green-feathered finches, so it is called jade. In modern times, people call jadeite "red jadeite and green jadeite".

3。 Crystal has a clean mind and powerful aura. It is said that when the ancient Greeks found it on Mount Olympia, they thought it was ice according to God's will, so they called it KRYSTALLOS, which means "white ice". Aristotle also mentioned crystals. He thought that crystal evolved after a long time and was a fossil of ice, so it was named "Crystal". The crystal is silica, which is transparent and timely, and the colloidal silica containing water solidifies into opal; Silica becomes agate after gelatinization and dehydration; When the crystal of silica is perfect, it is a crystal. Crystal clear posture, delicate timbre, and legends of sadness and joy with ancient and modern celebrities after being made into jewelry have cast an infinite mystery on these pure SiO2. Crystals with different colors due to different compositions are said to have their own functions: white crystal, amethyst, pink crystal, topaz, tea crystal and hair crystal. . . It seems that every crystal is unique and magical. Which one do you like?

I believe that crystals can gather energy. It is a symbol of light and strength. Her light gives you hope and makes you bravely explore the mysterious unknown. In the "Revelation" chapter and the "Glory of the Holy City" section of the old and new covenants, it is written as follows: "There is the glory of God in the holy city of Jerusalem". The brilliance of the city is like an extremely expensive gem, like jasper and as bright as crystal. "The foundation of the city wall is decorated with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation is jasper, the second is sapphire, the third is emerald, the fourth is emerald, the fifth is agate, the sixth is ruby, the seventh is topaz, the eighth is aquamarine, the ninth is ruby, the tenth is emerald, the eleventh is amethyst and the twelfth is amethyst.
