Some gemstones are manufactured to imitate other gemstones. For example, cubic zirconia is a synthetic diamond simulant composed of zirconium oxide. The imitations copy the look and colour of the real stone but possess neither their chemical nor physical characteristics. However, true synthetic gemstones are not necessarily imitation. For example, diamonds, ruby, sapphires and emeralds have been manufactured in labs, which possess very nearly identical chemical and physical characteristics to the naturally occurring variety. Synthetic corundums, including ruby and sapphire, are very common and they cost only a fraction of the natural stones. Smaller synthetic diamonds have been manufactured in large quantities as industrial abrasives for many years. Only recently, larger synthetic diamonds of gemstone quality, especially of the coloured variety, have been manufactured.

A gemstone is a mineral, rock, or petrified material that when cut or faceted and polished is collectible or can be used in jewelry. Others are organic (such as amber, which is fossilised tree resin, and jet, a form of coal).

Looking through an iolite lens, they could determine the exact position of the sun, and navigate safely.The natural mineral has little commercial use.The price of iolites about the same as of nice amethysts in a good color. This pleasing violet gemstone is gaining widespread popularity for its beauty and its attractive affordability.Iolite necklaces and pendants wear better than iolite rings.Iolite is commonly cut into traditional shapes, and its most desirable color is a rich violet-blue. It shows many colors in a single stone. It is very important to look at an it from several directions before you purchase, because the stone presents very different colors from different angles.

Jasper

2006-10-18T10:50:00.000-07:00

Jasper exhibits various colors, but chiefly brick red to brownish red. It owes its color to admixed hematite, but when it occurs with clay admixed, the color is a yellowish white or gray, or with goethite, a brown or yellow. Often jasper is multi-colored. In ancient writings the term jasper was chiefly applied to translucent and brightly colored stones, particularly chalcedony, but also was applied to the opaque jasper. Jasper was known as the great "rain-bringer" in the fourth century. For thousands of years, black jasper was used to test gold-silver alloys for their gold content. Rubbing the alloys on the stone, called a touchstone, produces a streak the color of which determines the gold content within one part in one hundred. Jasper is one of the gemstones, that used in commesso, also called florentine mosaic. Commesso is a technique of fashioning pictures with thin, cut-to-shape pieces of brightly colored, semiprecious stones, developed in Florence in the late 16th century.

This red-violet color, called artist's purple by artists, is the pigment color that would be on the color wheel between pigment violet and pigment magenta.
Artists pigments and colored pencils labeled as purple are colored the red-violet color shown at right.

Fawn

2006-07-27T06:13:00.000-07:00

The fawn color is mistaken sometimes to be blue. These are very different genes. The fawn color is achieved by breeding together dogs that carry the dilution gene either in it's homozygous or heterozygous form, and the chocolate gene. Black to black, or black to red, or red to red, or a black to blue, or blue to red can produce a fawn colored offspring. The fawn color is the result of two recessive genes, therefore,the pup could be affected with Alopecia (a skin condition). Not all are, but many do have some form of a skin or coat condition.It is HIGHLY unadvisable to ever breed a fawn to another fawn. The color can be achieved by breeding the darker colors with correct gene pairing,so there is no need to take a chance by breeding together two recessive genes.

Where do new words and new uses of old words come from? In some cases we know exactly; in others, not at all and can only guess. Examples of both extremes are the words mauve and mullet. Mauve is the product of serendipity and imagination. The Oxford English Dictionary’s (OED) first record of the word’s use is from 1859. yourDictionary.com defines it as "a moderate purple, violet, or lilac color" and adds that it is also "a dyestuff that produces a mauve color." The term is a loanword from French, in which it means "the mallow plant" or the color of its flowers.

Diamond can divide light into a spectrum of colors and reflect this light as colorful flashes called fire. Just as when looking through colored glass, color in a diamond will act as a filter, and will diminish the spectrum of color emitted. The less color in a diamond, the more colorful the fire, and the better the color grade.The color in diamonds graded K-Z detracts from the beauty of a diamond. It's especially noticeable set in platinum or white gold.Blue Nile also carries fancy-yellow colored diamonds, these diamonds are graded on a different color scale than white diamonds.

Orange

2006-05-11T09:53:00.000-07:00

Orange is vibrant. It's a combination of red and yellow so it shares some common attributes with those colors. It denotes energy, warmth, and the sun. But orange has a bit less intensity or aggression than red, calmed by the cheerfulness of yellow.As a warm color orange is a stimulant — stimulating the emotions and even the appetite. Orange can be found in nature in the changing leaves of fall, the setting sun, and the skin and meat of citrus fruit.It represents the changing seasons so in that sense it is a color on the edge, the color of change between the heat of summer and the cool of winter.

Aquamarine

Aquamarine is another of the gems composed of Beryl. It occurs in colors of light sky blue, greenish blue, or greenish yellow. The light sky-blue stone is the one of the most value, and is very brilliant, especially by artificial light. The color of the aquamarine may be altered by various artificial means, and experiments along this line have been undertaken for many years by some of the German universities, resulting in the discovery of a method by which in rare cases the less valuable greenish-blue variety may be changed to a shade of light sky blue of great value without altering the stone to any perceptible degree.

Men's Color

2006-05-09T20:23:00.000-07:00

Men favor the color black only slightly more than women.A strong preference for conservative colors such as blue and black may also reflect social and cultural norms where women wear the brighter, more varied colors while men's attire is traditionally less colorful. Purple stands out as a feminine color because it is chosen almost exclusively by women as a favorite color and is strongly disliked by men. Men are less likely to respond favorably to other feminine favorites such as lavender and turquoise. Most people still think of pink as a feminine, delicate color, the color for little girls. Even though it is acceptable as a clothing color for men, the color pink has such strong negative associations for men that some uses of the color may be considered insulting to men.

Green is life. Abundant in nature, green signifies growth, renewal, health, and environment. On the flip side, green is jealousy or envy (green-eyed monster) and inexperience.

And also Green is the national color of Ireland and is strongly associated with that country. It also has close associations with Islam. Because of all the green in nature the color is reminiscent of Spring. Coupled with red it's a Christmas. With both a warming and cooling effect, the color green denotes balance, harmony, and stability. Use several shades of green for a fresh, Springtime feel.

Feminine Colors

Colors that are traditionally considered feminine colors or that appeal most strongly to or are more closely associated with women can be good choices for marketing messages and interior designs targeting women. Color studies done over the years indicate that the favorite colors of women and men do differ. Some of these differences in favorite colors may be attributed to cultural use of color and conditioning.
There are no hard and fast rules about what colors are feminine or masculine or gender-neutral. Because colors come in many tints and shades, someone may love a light powder blue but strongly dislike a deep navy blue so a preference for the color blue doesn't mean that every shade of blue is universally appropriate. However, some generalizations are possible based on various color studies.
Blue is a favorite color of both men and women of all ages. While men have a stronger preference for blue than women, it's still a top choice. It may be the calming effect of the color blue that makes it a popular color for both men and women.

The FC 2 Flour Color Controller

2006-04-03T06:55:00.000-07:00

The FC 2 flour color controller consists of a measuring pipe with a glass insert (length of insert = 200 mm, diameter = 120, 150 or 200 mm). The device is installed in the run-off pipe immediately downstream of the flour worm. The measuring pipe is fitted with a special optical sensor which continuously measures the reflection of the flour being conveyed through the pipe. The degree of the reflection is always determined by the color or lightness of the flour. The evaluation unit of the monitoring system processes the measuring signal and establishes a mean value. This signal is shown continuously on a digital display. In case of a given grain mixture, it is also possible to compensate for the ash content of the flour. The measuring signal is automatically controlled by two adjustable limit values. It is possible to register the flour colour over a period of time by means of a recording unit. The constant display and control of the transient lightness value help to make the task of the mill supervision simpler and safer. A particular advantage of this system is the fact that flour sieve defects in the plan sifter are immediately identified and signaled to the operator.

Color Theory

2006-04-03T06:46:00.000-07:00

Color Theory is a set of principles used to create harmonious color combinations. Color relationships can be visually represented with a color wheel — the color spectrum wrapped onto a circle. The first color wheel was invented by Sir Isaac Newton. He split white sunlight into red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, and blue beams; then he joined the two ends of the color spectrum together to show the natural progression of colors. Newton associated each color with a note of a musical scale. A century after that, Johann Wolfgang Goethe began studying psychological effect of colors. He noticed that blue gives a feeling of coolness and yellow has a warming effect. Goethe created a color wheel showing the psychological effect of each color. He divided all the colors into two groups – the plus side and the minus side. Colors of the plus side produce excitement and cheerfulness. Colors of the minus side are associated with weakness and unsettled feelings.

Colour

2006-03-10T00:38:00.000-08:00

what are colours? Technically speaking, colours are the way our brain, by use of our eyes, interprets electromagnetic radiation of a wavelenght between 350 and 750 nanometers. The different wavelengths are seen as different colours, as in the spectrum below. You have most likely seen a spectrum like this many times before, so I am not going to say anything more about it. A colour wheel is pretty much just the spectrum twisted around so that the violet and red ends are joined. The colour wheel is particularly useful for showing how the colours relate to each other and how you can create new colours by mixing two or more colours.

There are three colours which are referred to as the primary colours. All other colours can be created by mixing these three colours. The primary colours are red, green and blue.
additive colours
Subtractive colours
Red, green and blue?Some of you might have learned that the primary colours are red, yellow and blue. In saying this you are both right and wrong. In classic colour theory, the primaries are red, yellow and blue. However, since here we deal with colours on a screen, it is more practical to think of red, green and blue as primaries. To explain this further we need to introduce two more terms - additive colour systems and subtractive colour systems. The additative colours system is what computer monitors and TV screens use-- any colour source that emits the light itself. If you look very very closely at your screen, you will see that it is built up of tiny red, green and blue dots. In the additative system, you get white when the three primary colours are present at 100%. The subtractive colour system, on the other hand, is what comes to play in printing, drawing, painting and such. This is when the colour does not emit any light of its own, but refects light from its surroundings. In the subtractive colour system, you get black when all colours are mixed. It is in this system that one of the primary colours is yellow.

The secondary colours are what you get when you mix any two adjacent primary colours. Red and green give yellow, red and blue give you magenta and a mix of green and blue result in a cyan colour.The secondary colours are also the primary colours in the subtractive colour system.The tertiary colours are those which lie in between the primary and secondary colours.

Singing Along With Birds

In search of the perfect pet,you've got one right there with you.They are everywhere calling for your attention and love.They fill the skies,some of them with their sonorous voices enliven your days and nights.They are a free spiirt,flapping their wings in flight of frenzy,in flight of love.They are birds.The perfect creature of nature that tell a story of love,integrity,friendship and dignity in the home of people who have cared to let them into their lives.
I am of the opinion that nature has even been biased in its ways.It has given birds the most things that other animals can only dream of.Let's take the plumages and colours,the most inspiring and esoteric colour combinations ever can only be seen on the feathers of birds-right from the finches,the singing canaries,the kingly cocktatiels,the elegant Parakeets,the scintillating loverbirds and the chattering Parrots,it's a picturesque journey all the way.
To those who appreciate nature,the bird defines elegance and charm and teaches us wholesome lessons of love and friendship.Loyalty too remains a very mighty virtue in the bird world.People have simply not realised the essence of keeping birds.In the words of Debra Solomon 'birds are more than just pets,are lifelong friends,wondrous and can be incredible members of our families.They too have distint personalities and sometimes do things that seem astonishingly human'.
If you have ever heard the songs of the Robin,the joyful music of the canary,the chatter of the Parakeets,and the talk of the Parrot,then you will begin to wonder how blessed the human race with a variety of grace.Do you know what?I just thought of something,we could teach our children in this laden society,by exchanging dolls and chocolates for birds and fish.Not for eating,but to be cared for and loved.
