UV rays discolor skin. Two, heat dries skin.
Everyone moisturizes their skin. Have you checked your gemstones lately? Which gems fear the sun?
Opal:
SiO2inH2O is the chemical composition of Opal, which shows the high water content of Opal.
Opals can lose part of their water content if exposed to extreme temperatures or dry environments.
In the case of African opal, for instance, if you leave a piece of it in water or a humid atmosphere for a long period, the color shift will fade, and the opal will become transparent.
However, after a few days under dry conditions, the original hue returns. Opals lose their transparency and color when subjected to extreme heat or dry conditions for an extended period of time.
The sun brings with it the unpleasant sensations of heat and dryness. Extreme dryness can have devastating consequences. Such is the case of cracking.
You can’t go wrong with proper care, even if not all opals experience water loss. You should clean it and store it in a ziplock bag while you’re not wearing it. It will still look stunning even after you’ve worn it again.
Red Coral:
As an organic gemstone that once showed signs of life, the beautiful red coral is very delicate and easily sunburned.When the surrounding temperature is relatively high, its internal moisture will disappear, organic matter decomposition, resulting in coral color will change, the luster will disappear, serious will crack.
So in the usual wear and maintenance, try to avoid letting it long time in high temperature and dry environment. Otherwise, it will lose its luster due to water loss, and even fade to white. When you don’t wear it, you can put some baby oil on it to care for it.
Calcium carbonate makes up the bulk of coral, and as the coral dries out and develops imperceptible fissures, white calcium oxide is produced when the acid in perspiration reacts with the calcium carbonate. Precipitation will gradually develop glaring white spots in the hollows and fissures of red coral, which are so tiny they are unseen to the human eye.
So, in the often sweaty season, in addition to avoiding sun exposure, you should wipe it off with a clean towel.
Emeralds:
Oil-impregnated emeralds, when exposed to high temperatures for a long period of time, the oil inside of it may “sweat” (precipitate and evaporate).
This not only dulls the stone’s sheen, but can also cause the initial inclusions to grow.
A extended duration of exposure to high temperatures will nevertheless lead an oil-free emerald to lose its color and, in extreme situations, shatter.
Because not everyone will be familiar with the science of emerald oil, I will explain it briefly. After extracting the emerald, the miner will place it in one of the oil canisters. This safeguards the emerald from damage during further cutting.
Since air, which has a very different refractive index of light than emerald, was initially used to fill the gaps, the fissures will be easily visible.
Although the emerald refractive index of oil is identical to that of the oil used in the immersion, the cracks in the surface are filled with grease, making them invisible to the naked eye.Therefore, even the finest emeralds cannot be produced without coming into contact with oil.
No matter how flawless an emerald may be, its clarity directly correlates to the amount of oil in the ground. A few high-quality emeralds have no cracks or fissures and cannot be oiled, but they are expensive.
Turquoise:
Turquoise is a mineral aggregate of phosphates of copper and aluminum.
Placing turquoise in the sun at high temperatures makes it easy to lose the crystalline water contained within, causing it to become unstable in nature, which in turn leads to irreversible conditions such as fading and drying out.
Topaz:
Since its great clarity and fresh invigorating tone will revive the wearer’s overall image, topaz is a popular choice for summer jewelry.In reality, topaz is very photosensitive. If you leave your topaz in the heat or direct sunlight for too long, it may fade or crack.
Natural blue topaz is very rare. Today’s marketable topazes are the product of irradiation and heat treatment. Yellow and orange topaz mined in Brazil may be heated to produce pink and red topaz.
Amber Beeswax:
Because of its resin origin and relatively low melting point, amber beeswax jewelry can be melted by high heat. Therefore, amber beeswax jewelry should not be worn in direct sunlight.
Amber can dry out and crack if not kept in a cool, humid environment.
Pink Crystals:
One of the oldest myths about magnetic energy fields is the demagnetization of crystals, which is called sunlight exposure.
You already know that the pink crystal, which according to mythology is responsible for drawing in peach blossom luck and a portion of the crystal’s good fortune, must be protected from direct sunlight.
Pink crystal’s hue isn’t permanent; it will fade if heated or left in the sunlight for too long.
To preserve their color, amethyst, amethyst-lithium phlogopite, and other gemstones should avoid extended sunlight exposure.
Jewelry daily maintenance of common sense:
First,to prevent chemical reactions, stay away from soap, shower gel, shampoo, cosmetics, and other items used on a regular basis that contain chemicals. If you often soak your jewelry in the water, you may notice that its shine is fading.
Second, take it off before doing strenuous physical activity, going to bed, cooking, or taking a shower to prevent it from being distorted or breaking the chain; this is what “out the door before wearing, into the door on the removal” means.
Third, you should avoid wearing jewelry when cooking, as this can lead to damage (yellowing, deformation, etc.) in porous organic gemstones (pearls, for example), as well as other phenomena such as perspiration and steam.
