The color of precious stones and
other minerals is little understood
The staining material may be organic
or inorganic, but its quality is usually
very minute. In the zircon, much
used as a gem under the name Of
hyacinth, the yellow, red, green OF
brown color, says German chemist,
can be ascribed to nitrogen. The
same has been proven for smoky
quartz, often enormously called
smoky topaz. The origin of the anne
thyst's color is yet undetermined, but
the belief that it is due to a COM
pound of sulphocyanide with iron has
been shown to be wrong. The color
of many minerals is caused by chrome
this has, been long known of certain
varieties of garnet, spinal and diop-
side, and is now found true of such
highly priced stones as the ruby
the sapphire, the oriental amethyst
the green zircon and 9 topaz ofBrazit
The proof that red, blue, yellow and
green stones are colored by chrome
has been in some cases synthetic
rather than analytic, yet fairly
convincing. In a large number o.
other minerals, the coloring yef
remains to be explained, or verified il
it is already suspected.
