Cherry Rhodochrosite
Rhodochrosite is a manganese carbonate mineral with chemical composition MnCO3. In its (rare) pure form, it is typically a rose-red color, but impure specimens can be shades of pink to pale brown. It streaks white, and its Mohs hardness varies between 3.5 and 4. Its specific gravity is between 3.5 and 3.7. It crystallizes in the trigonal system, and cleaves with rhombohedral carbonate cleavage in three directions. Crystal twinning often is present. It is transparent to translucent with refractive indices of nω=1.814 to 1.816, nε=1.596 to 1.598. It is often confused with the manganese silicate, rhodonite, but is distinctly softer. It is officially listed as one of the National symbols of Argentina.

• Gemstones Business in Nepal is being operated by unskilled people mostly as retail traders, identification of gemstones quite difficult job when you're not a trained expert.

• We will help you clear your doubts about the authenticity of Gemstones, Crystals and Rudrakshya by issuing a certificate against tested items which will be a certificate of assurance for the traders and buyers too.
• We have specific goals and we have a clear vision towards Gemstones market in Nepal which has been manipulated by some illegal foreign traders who illegally supply fake gemstones with unauthorised certificate printed in Indian markets for 10/20 rupees,
• As a Gemologist I am a member of Astro Council Nepal since 2071 and been working with many renowned Astrologers in Nepal who point out that many Astrologers are being cheated by fake gemstones with fake Indian & Thailand Certificates which is big loss to the buyers and a great loss to the Economy.

Describing some rare Gemstones
"Poudretteite"
Poudretteite is an extremely rare mineral and gemstone that was first discovered as minute crystals in Mont St. Hilaire , Quebec , Canada , during the 1960s
Poudretteite was originally described in 1987 as minute crystals of no gemological interest at Mont St. Hilaire; the samples had been collected in the 1960’s.
In 2000, rough was discovered in the Pain Pyit district, Mogok, Myanmar that cut a 3ct stone that was later determined to be poudretteite. As of 2004, 10 examples of poudretteite had been identified amoung Mogok stones, the largest being a 22ct crystal that was cut into a 9.4ct gem.
Facet grade Poudretteite is also found in Mogok, Burma. As of mid-2007, about 30 small pieces of rough have been recovered. Most produce small gems, and clean stones weighing in excess of 1 carat remain elusive. Some gems are pink in tone, but these also are not common.
Physical Properties of Poudretteite;
Mohs Hardness: 5
Specific Gravity: 2.51 to 2.53
Optical Properties of Poudretteite;
Refractive Index: 1.511 to 1.532

Optical Character: Uniaxial/+

Clarity enhancement of gemstones using oils to fill and hide cracks has been documented dating back well over 1,000 years. As long as these enhancements are properly disclosed along the supply chain with instructions for how to care for such enhanced gems, there is nothing unethical about these modifications.

This example demonstrates the dramatic improvement in perceived clarity after introducing oil into a badly fractured natural emerald.
