Gem Recycling: Repolishing, Recutting, and Re-crystallization
QuestionHi,
I would like to know the recycling process of precious gems. Could you please help with it?
AnswerHI SIRISHA,
GEMS ARE RECYLED IN THE MOST COMMON WAY, BY REPOLISHING OR RECUTTING. IF THE STONE IS COMPLETLY DESTROYED THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. IF THE MINERAL IS RECONSTITUTED BY RECRYSTALIZING THEN IT IS NOT CONSIDERED A NATUARL GEM BUT A MAN MADE GEM.
THANKS
