Precious Stones That Are Subject 20
Serious Charges.


The decoloration CT precious stones
when they have been exposed to the
air for q long time is considered one OK
the most frequent E!a:adies. Among
the coIored stones the em"ralds, rubic5
and sapphires are those which remain
intact best. Nevertheless thcy are not
exempt from changes, as has been
proved by many experiments recently
made in Paris. Two rubies Of the same
size and shade were kept for two years,
one in q showcase and the other away
from all light At the end OF this term
q comparison revealed that the first
had become somewhat lighter In color.
The influence Of light makes itself
felt more plainly On topazes and gar
nets. The garnet turns much paler IN
q short time, while the topaz assumes
O darker shade and even loses the bril-
liancy possessed by 1t when freshly
cut.
The most sensitive stone in this re.
spect IS the opal. This stone draws its
marvellous rainbow reflections from
numerous little clefts which allow the
light to pass and reflect it In different
directions. Often the opal stands the
manipulat'ons Of cutting and polishing

ing to its chemical composition 1t Ia
sensitive to all the changes of tempera-
ture.
Pearls deterIorate very easily. In the
fire they are transformed into piece

they behave as lime or marble would
under the same conditions. It some
times happens that during the work, If
the hand touching them is very sweatS.
they lose their luster or break, being
attacked by the acid Of the perspira-
ton.
Since pearls are composed CT ccncen-
trio layers of mother Of pearl, It IS
sometimes possible to repair them by
taking off the outer layer. but this
operation is extremely difficult and
delicate. If the interior colors are in
jured there Is no remedy.
