Gems and Precious Stones

I've been told true diamonds will cut glass & if you have it examined by a Jeweler DO NOT leave it overnight as you may receive a fake back. GOOD LUCK. Heavy Liquid Method: Keeping the diamond in "clerici diluted solution" (poisonous) of S.G. 3.52 will suspend (neither floats nor sinks) whereas other stones will either float or sink. The actual cleric solution has S.G. of 4.00 but with added "methylene iodide" and with help of indicator stone (diamond) will make the solution of similar S.G. that of a diamond i.e. 3.52. This "clerici diluted solution" is one heck a solution to identify diamond from rest of the gemstone world.

The difference between a gem a jewel and a semiprecious stone is minimal.

A gem is a stone of value such as a diamond, but it may be in its raw state. A jewel is a finished gem, one that has been worked t make it show its desirable qualities

I have researched a long time and I know from experience about braces(am currently undergoing orthodontic treatment)and I have found that lingual braces are significantly more expensive. I'm afraid I'm not exaggerating on this one; they can cost more by thousands of dollars. For you, I would recommend clear ceramic braces. They are far less noticeable than the traditional metal ones, and they cost about the same. The only downside is that they tend to stain if you eat really spicy foods or if you drink coffee, but they can be easily replaced by going to see your dentist. Just be sure to schedule an appointment in advance. Even though I'm only 15, I know what I am talking about. I hope this helped you make your decision. Good luck!

Prices vary greatly depending on type (AC or DC power); electronics; power distribution systems; the load rating; and with the number of locomotives purchased. A single AC locomotive with options can cost $2.3 million, while a large railroad recently purchased 200 'bare bones' units for $1.75 million each. Low-end AC units can be had for a little as $1.4 million. Modern locomotives are good for about a million miles before major overhaul. At this point they are often traded in on new ones, and the manufacturer will rebuild the old unit and sell it to a smaller railroad for about half of what a new one costs.

In addition to the purchase price, the average locomotive costs about $35,000 a year for fuel and preventative maintenance.

Try soaking it in pure filtered reverse osmosis water. It will remove any gunk on it. If you dont have a reverse osmosis water filter, look for a place that sells water like water mart or similar place that uses reverse osmosis to purify their water. I use this water to remove stains out of carpets and to clean glass with no streaks. It works.

If you are asking is synthetic pearl real pearl, the answer is no. The very term synthetic means artificial, man-made. The closest thing is south seas or seashell pearl. the "pearls" are made of crushed shell which is then treated with a resin to stabilize and harden it into a solid mass. This mass can then be shaped,dyed, and polished to resemble real pearl. Most synthetics are painted or enameled glass or something similar. hope this helps. Actually, in terms of gemology the word "synthetic" is not used for pearl. The more appropriate term for it is "imitation". Synthetic word is used for those gemstones which are man-made and possess exact chemical, physical and optical properties that of a real gemstone. Therefore "imitation pearl" should be used instead of "synthetic pearl". And with this (imitation) term being used one can get the answer from itself.
