Ruby is a Generation lll game. Diamond is a Generation IV game. They are set in different areas. Ruby is set in the Hoenn region, and Diamond, in the Sinnoh.

Outside the world of Pokémon, ruby and diamond are gem stones. Diamond is a carbon crystal. Ruby is the mineral corundum (aluminum oxide) that has a red color because of the presence of chromium. Gem-quality corundum without chromium is called a saphire

To get the Sapphire, first use Cut on the door in Ruin Valley, then go down the hole in Dotted Hole. Next, there is a puzzle. Start by going down the front hole, then the left hole, then the right, then the down. A man who works for Team Rocket will steal the Sapphire, and you have to go to the Rocket Warehouse to retrieve it.

Valuation of diamond is determined by the gem quality: carat weight, clarity, color, uniqueness as antique, or one of its kind in this world.

Collectors value a diamond with demand: for a unique diamond the cost is priceless. A 100 carat diamond sold for $ 24.3 million in 1995. The star of Africa (Cullinan diamond) is 3,106 carats and worth many times other expensive diamonds sold.

Most of the world's largest, most glorious diamonds have never traded hands for money, rather, are gifts or spoils of war.

No meaning found anywhere. It's gibberish or terrible spelling.

OK, if its a nautical star I have heard tell it means anti-racism and the love of man as a brotherhood. But I cant say that for a fact.

If it a solid blue star it could mean the love and care for a family member in the services. A blue star in a window signified a son over seas in a war zone.

Hope I helped....TatuBaron

In the nautical world, a red star symbolizes a passage around the Cape of Good Hope on a sailing ship, and a blue star signifies passage of Cape Horn, which was much more difficult.... Seadog

There are many ways through which you can tell the difference between real and fake pearls. One of them is by rubbing them against your teeth; if the pearl feels smooth then it is most likely fake. Another way is to rub two pearls against each other, if they glide easily then they are fake, real pearls are not very smooth. One more method is to see if a pearl is perfect round shape it is fake, however, please note that some real pearls are perfectly round but are very rare.

The name "Coober Pedy" is derived from the aboriginal words Kupa pita or Kupa piti meaning White man in a hole or burrow. Coober Pedy is characterised by its homes dug into the ground to insulate people from the extreme heat of the area.

Three different types of Opal are found in Australia:

Fire Opals are mined in South Australia near Coober Pedy.

Black Opals are mined in New South Wales near Lightning Ridge.

Boulder Opals are mined in the western Queensland.

Gemstone is a mineral or organic material that has been selected for its beauty, durability, and rarity and then used to make jewelry or other human adornments.

Alexandrite, though this also comes in a variety of colours other than red.

The opal is considered a water stone. Its main symbolic meaning is inspiration, especially inspiration as it applies to being creative. It is also said that the opal can reduce confusion and improve your memory.

there is no such stone. there is dusk, dawn, fire, thunder, water, leaf and shiny. there is also an everstone but that stops Pokemon from evolving. hope this helps.

Jet is a shiny black form of coal. Queen Victoria wore jet jewelry after her husband, Prince Albert died.

I know for a fact that it came from many different places from all different time lines.

I know one of the origins and this is how it goes.

Back in medieval times or something like that if the french captured a British archer they would cut off his middle finger so he couldn't fire his arrows. When the french attacked. The British archers stuck up there middle finger showing they still had it and would shoot them in there bloody head. XD

that's what i have to say hope i helped.

The lucky color for Aries is Red, Black, White

The Olympic Australis Opal is believed to be the largest gem opal ever found. Found in 1956 at the "Eight Mile" opal field in Coober Pedy, South Australia, it was found at a depth of 30 feet and so named because the Olympic Games were being held in Melbourne at the time. The Olympic Australis consists of 99% gem opal, with the remainder of 1% being the soil still attached to the stone. It weighs 17,000 carats (3450 grams) and is 280 mm long (11 inches) by 120 mm, by 115 mm. It was valued at AUD$2,500,000 in 2005.

yep

^That answer is 100% false. Yellow topaz is NOT the same as citrine. Though they appear similar in color, they are chemically very different. Citrine is a quartz crystal and topaz is mineral crystal and therefore the more expensive of the two stones.

The weight of obsidian is approximately 2.3 to 2.6 grams per cubic centimeter.

Gold is heavier than diamond.

Diamonds have a specific gravity of 3.51. Gold has a specific gravity of 19.32.

naturally forming or cultured, such pearls are formed in the oyster or mussel and are not fakes. The real difference in the totally natural pearl and the cultured pearls is what makes the pearl start to grow and the thickness of the nacre. Nacre is the pearly layers that make a pearl so lovely. The natural pearl will have very thick nacre, generally forming in concentric rings around some starting source or irritation to the mollusk. A large natural pearl is very, very rare. Cultured pearls generally use a "core" of mother-of-pearl, the shell of the mollusk. The bead core goes into the mollusk and nacre is formed around the core. The core determines the overall shape of the pearl. How long the oyster is allowed to let the pearl grow determines the thickness of the nacre. Thicker nacre is better. Best of all is thick nacre and a smooth, almost blemish free surface. Pearls grown inside the mussel or oyster do have a gritty feel to the tooth. Fake pearls are made by coating a core of some sort (mother-of-pearl, plastic, etc.) with a plastic, a kind of paint containing ground fish scales or other stuff that look pearly to the eye. Generally, the fakes do NOT have a gritty feel to the tooth. Try rubbing or tapping your pearl (cultured or natural) against your tooth it will feel gritty indicating its real and if the pearl feels smooth it is fake but this requires some practice. Sometimes customers interested in buying pearls are concerned that they won't know the real thing from the imitation. Here are some tests to help you determine if you are looking at well-done 'fakes' or genuine pearls. Touch Test An old wives' tale says that if you hold real pearls in your hand, they will be cool to the touch for several seconds before warming up. Genuine pearls tend to warm with contact to the skin much faster than glass pearls. Resin or plastic pearls tend to feel somewhat warm upon first contact. This however is not a sure-fire method for checking authenticity. The Tooth TestRub the pearls lightly along the biting edge of your upper front teeth. If they feel slightly rough, sandy or gritty, it's likely they are cultured or natural pearls because of the layers of nacre that have formed over time. If they feel smooth or glassy, they are probably imitations. That's because the imitations are made by dipping a plastic or glass bead into some sort of paint, sometimes including iridescent fish scales. You will also get the same result (rough, sandy, or gritty) if two pearls are rubbing together.

Some volcanoes, including Hawaii, occasionally produce sands which are composed of transparent green grains of the gemstone, peridot. On the Big Island, the sands mostly appear black except on a beach near the southernmost tip of the island.
