Every Brown Gemstone Explained — Some Are Worth a Fortune

Brown is the color most people ignore in a gemstone case. It doesn’t look rare. It doesn’t look like luxury. Beside a ruby or an emerald, it almost disappears.

But brown is one of the most deceptive colors in gemology.

One brown stone gets its color from natural radiation. Another carries a bright line that moves when you tilt it. Some brown rough becomes electric blue with heat. And inside diamond, brown can be the scar of enormous pressure deep underground.

Yet some of these overlooked stones can reach extraordinary values.

So how does a color most people ignore end up worth a fortune?
