what is the best gemstone to go on this ring?
http://www.sterlingsilverart.com/Rings-other/c32_57/p81/Crown-Ring/product_info.html at this link, there is this crown ring that has a selection of gemstones that you can choose from. which one would look the best on this ring next to a silver band with gold feet because thats what im going to wear it with on my finger---this is kind of what the foot ring looks like except the gold parts are silver and the silver parts are gold on mine: http://www.kaboodle.com/reviews/footprints-in-the-sand-ring-inspirational-religious-comfort-to-men-and-women-fine-solid-10k-gold-diamond-jewelry I kind of like the original gemstone on the example but what about the citrine. help me please
I think that the ruby would be perfect because the color is vivid and it shows elegance. Also a deep blue would be good because people could loose themselves in it.
What is a Geode?
The formation of Geodes takes place over millions of years and involves several different geological processes.
Hollow Rocks
So, let's start at the beginning: how do you get a hollow rock with lots of sparkling crystals inside? Geodes start their lives as a hollow bubble inside a layer of rock. The bubble could be from air inside explosive volcanic rock or it could come from the hollow remains of animal burrows or tree roots.
What About The Crystals?
Geodes that form from air bubbles inside of volcanic rock are pretty easy to picture. Think about the small air bubbles you see in pumice. Now, imagine just one of those bubbles completely surrounded by black or red volcanic rock. As rain pelts down on the hot bubble, the chemicals in the rock are slowly released into the water. Some of the water soaks through the hard, rocky outside of the bubble and is trapped for a moment on the inside. As the mineral-rich water moves on through the bubble, tiny crystals are left behind, clinging to the sides of the bubble. Millions of years pass while this in and out flow of water gradually builds crystals inside the empty space. The crystal formations might become large single crystals or tightly packed micro-crystals, so small that you can't even distinguish one from another.
An Animal's Home
Let's check out the development of our animal burrow bubble... Long after the animal has moved on or the tree has died and its roots have rotted away, the sediments that surrounded the hollow are being covered up by layers and layers of sediment hundreds of feet think. Eventually the weight of these layers has caused the sediments to turn into rock: sedimentary rock. Just like our volcanic bubble, this animal burrow bubble is host to mineral-filled water flowing in and out through the hollow space. And just like the volcanic bubble, a wide variety of crystals are taking shape inside the animal's former home.
Time Marches On
Fast forward to modern times. The water-soaked land where our bubbles began has become a vast desert where wind howls and the sun beats down. The ground, covered by rocks and scrubby brush yields up unusually shaped rocks. Today, you've found a good field of them and have three nearly-round specimens to crack open when you get home.
All Geodes Are Not Created Equal
The first one is quite hollow but for a nice layer of medium-sized blue crystals. These dugway geodes have bands of blue and pink. The colors come from the different minerals that flowed through the bubble so many millions of years ago. Another specimen is nearly solid all the way through. The microcrystals have formed wide bands of different colors and the tiny opening at the center has a thin ring of pointed crystals. Yet another is completely filled with solid rings of browns, reds and pinks. So, you've really found two geodes and one nodule. Nodule is the name for these round forms when they are filled solid.
Quartz, Calcite, Or What?
Most geodes have interiors made of either quartz or calcite. Quartz crystals are silicates. Silicates are the most common mineral in the crust of the earth. Over 90% of the minerals present in earth's crust are silicates. With this said, you can imagine that silicates are a pretty big group with lots of variation in terms of specific chemical composition.
Calcite's main ingredient is calcium carbonate CaCO2: dissolved calcium and carbon with some of the oxygen from the water thrown in.
Small variations Can Make A Big Difference
Now, add in a trace of iron or magnesium or copper and, voila, you have color variation.
Magnesium traces in calcite forms a nice pink dolomite layer, while magnesium in silicate accounts for the purples of amethyst.
Heat Can Change It
Now if your geode was close to a lot of heat, that could change the color, too. An amethyst that gets a lot of heat loses its purple color and becomes a soft yellow or citrine. You can see why there are so many color possibilities.
A Day In The Life
So, that little geode you're holding has had quite a journey getting to your hand. Treasure it for its beauty, but also for its history and the complex composition of minerals that made it. You're holding millions of years of work in your hand...enjoy touching the miracle of our earth's creation.
