Colorless gemstones

Are you looking for jewelry with colorless stones? Arediamonds and cubic zirconia really your only options? No. Here is a list of six colorless precious and semi-precious stones you can choose from.

Precious stones list:

SAPPHIRE

The most desirable sapphires are blue (ranging from cornflower blue to navy blue to almost black), but sapphires can also come in other colors: colorless, light pink, reddish, orange-red, purple, violet, green, gray, or brown. There are also two-color sapphires, as well as star sapphires, on the surface of which narrow streaks of light can be seen forming a star shape. Sapphire does not shine as intensely as diamond, but it is also very beautiful.

MOISSANITE

Moissanite is a very beautiful and extremely rare mineral. Its dispersion is much greater than that of a diamond, giving it even more fire. Natural moissanite is extremely rare, but fortunately, synthetic moissanite is now produced.

ZIRCON

Zircon should not be confused with zirconia, as zircon is a natural stone. Zircon is a beautiful substitute for diamonds. When properly cut, its surface produces multicolored flashes, known as fire. Zircon is not only transparent. It comes in a variety of colors, from yellow, orange, pink, red, green, purple, blue, brown, gray, and even black.

TOPAZ

Blue topazes with excellent transparency and clarity are particularly valued in jewelry, as they complement diamonds perfectly. However, topazes can also be colorless, golden, pink, red, purple, and brown. Unfortunately, they do not sparkle as beautifully as diamonds.

SPINEL

Spinel was long considered to be ruby. Only after its chemical composition was discovered was it identified as a separate stone. Spinels can be colorless, red, purple, blue, green, dark brown, and black. Like topaz, it does not sparkle as beautifully as diamond.

MOUNTAIN CRYSTAL

Rock crystal is a pure, colorless, transparent variety of quartz. It has a strong luster, but lacks the fire characteristic of diamonds.
