When buying a colored gemstone, as with any jewelry, there are many questions to be considered. Colored gemstones are particularly difficult to purchase with confidence, simply because there are so many varieties available. There are many criteria to which attention must be paid, in the interest of due diligence. First, you need to know if the stone you are considering is natural or synthetic. This is difficult to discern for the untrained buyer. Be sure a licensed gemologist certifies this important fact.

Clarify what the name of the stone and all qualifiers mean. This is critical. For example, a Rio topaz is not a true topaz at all. Once again, you need to rely upon a licensed gemologist and a statement specifying what the stone actually is on the bill of sale. Know what you are considering buying.

Do flaws, inclusions or natural characteristics detract from the beauty or structural integrity of the stone? Inspect the stone carefully from all sides and under different types of lighting.

Ask to borrow a jeweler's lens to make the inspection more thorough. Ask questions about any imperfections you observe. If there are structural flaws, find out if a special protective setting will be necessary.

Find out if the stone color is natural or artificially enhanced. If an artificial enhancement has been made to the color of the stone, ask if the color is permanent. How close is the color to the pure spectral shade of the stone? Ask the resident licensed gemologist to specify these details on the bill of sale.

The aforementioned considerations are but a few of those you should consider when buying a colored gemstone. As was mentioned, you will need to rely on an honest, licensed gemologist to answer many of your questions.

Furthermore, don't forget to have all pertinent details included on the bill of sale. More Buying a Colored Gemstone Topics
