As a continuation to the first article, this is a description on alexandrite and amethyst, as two of less known precious gemstones to the world.

• Amber

Bewitchingly alluring, 'Gold of the North', amber, is actually not a stone but a fossilized amorphous, tree sap. As centuries passed, the resinous substance seeping of pine trees, hardened, existing over 50 million years ago.

Its hardness measures 2.5 Mohs' on scale. With a fascinating inner world, amber specimens can really demand value. With inclusions, amber is often found containing insects and lichens, trapped inside, probably when the resin was still sticky. Apart from 'lily pad' inclusions, air bubbles contained inside the prehistoric gemstone, has also been seen.

Colored as warm and silky yellow to brown, it can also appear as transparent, or with interesting inclusions, like unbelievable inhabitants of around 40-60 million years ago.

These become favorite collectibles and more costly too. Antique amber jewelry imitations like plastic, amber look alike are very much present in market to fool buyers. Therefore, it is suggested to buy such precious items from a trusted jeweler.

During the beginning of 20th century, it became a popular jewelry item, sought after, having a significant value, which is showing a comeback this season too.

• Andalusite

Andalusite is a mineral type gemstone, which is also called as poor man's alexandrite. However, one advantage of andalusite over alexandrite is, that it doesn't needs any change in light source for color change phenomenon.

With a hardness, measuring 7 to 7.5 Mohs' on scale, it's a pleasantly durable gem. This clear variety is named after the place of its discovery, Andulasia in Spain.

Because of its fair durability, it is mostly seen faceted which gives a playful reflection of red, green, and yellow. Its colorful abundance is easily seen in an olive green from one direction, a fine reddish brown from another and grayish green from a different angle. Therefore, it is a pleohroic.

Andalusite is rarely seen on the display showcase of the jewelry; however, men fondly pick it.

Apart from such lovely valuables, found hidden, in various sources of crystalline as well as organic deposits in nature, wonder gem jewelry like sapphire earrings, ruby rings or ruby earrings are still amongst, most chosen, by buyers.
