3.COLOUR, COLOUR FILTERS, AND THE DICHROSCOPE

Colours plays an extermely important part in contributing to the beauty and popularity of precious stones. it was their colour that made such stones as turquoise and lapis lazuli among the first to attract the cupidity of early civilised man, and it is the mangnificent crimson red of ruby, the deep cornflower blue of the finest sapphires and the verdant green of emerald which (added to their transparency, hardness and rarity) have caused them always to rank amongst the supremely precious gems. only in the case of

diamond, unique in this as in so many other ways, has a complete lack of colour been  regarded as the standard of perfection. those unversed in gemmology find it hard to realise that is most of the mineral species used as gems a wide colour range is possible, and that in their 'pure' state they would be colourless and thereby of relatively little value.
