Introducing Gem Facts Pages
Did you know that Mexican Fire Opal is formed within volcanic rock cavities? Water gets trapped in silica-rich lava, and under high volcanic temperatures, that same superheated water encapsulated in lava transforms into the burning-colored gemstone you see here.
Introducing Gem Facts Pages
Every gem has a story, and we want to share them all with you! That’s why we have worked hard over the last couple of months to begin updating our Gem Facts Pages.
Our Gem Facts Pages are where we share stories like how Mexican Fire Opal is formed, or what happens with the oyster shells once a Cortez Pearl® is harvested, or even what the traditional Navajo gathering process looks like for Anthill Garnet. Each tidbit of information builds a story behind the gems we offer, and in-turn, creates added emotional value to your work when you’re also able to share those stories with your clients.
Transparency is a key pillar here at Columbia Gem House and we find great beauty in keeping these stories connected with each gem. Our Gem Facts Pages are just one way we work to share transparent information about our gemstones, and we’re excited to hear what you think!
While there’s still a long list of gem stories to capture and upload, we are thrilled to introduce our first wave of Gem Facts Pages for you to explore! Keep an eye out for more coming soon…
