Gems have diseases just as men ant

fate, and no means have been found to re
store them to life.
Among infirnities to which precious
stones are liable Is one common to oil col
ored stones, that of fading or losing color
when long exposed to the light. The EN-.
erald, the sapphire and the ruby suffer the
least, their coiors being as nearly perma.
nent as colors can be, yet experiments
made few years ago in Paris and Berlin
to determine the deterioration of colorAd
gems through exposure showed that even
these suffered, ruby which had lain for
two years in show window being percep.
tibly lighter In tint than its original mate,
which was kept in the darkness.
The causes Of the change are not very
clear, even to expert chemists, but it Is
evident that the action of the light on the
coloring matter OF the gem effects deteri.

Microtonists say that the prismatic col.
ors and fire Of the opal are due to myriads
of minute cracks in the body of the stone,
the edges of which reflect the light at diff.
ferent angles and give the hues so much
admired. A stono full of cracks Is liable
to split in two at any time, and disasters
of this kind, especially in the process OF
