Precious gemstones are classified differently by many different people. But the most valuable and the superior of all are the diamonds,emeralds,rubies and sapphires.

Some times pearls are also added in the list but technically they are not gemstones by any means, however they can get as valuable as any of the stones mentioned above. But of all these stones, emerald stands unique and is surely the one that can leave all stones behind in value.

Diamonds is usually considered to be the most valuable of all stones and this fact is quite valid however at times emerald can get very precious due to its rarity. Further if emeralds are absolutely clear or are of very rich color than they can be deemed even priceless because it is very very hard to find such emeralds naturally.

Presently with the advent of synthetic gemstones the charm of naturally occurring gemstones is fast fading but still traditional people always look for the natural ones and they very much no how to buy one. But majority of the people are unaware of the difference between natural and synthetic gemstones and buy anything what they get.

Emerald naturally have many inclusions and it can be very easily told if an emerald is natural or synthetic, however one would always need and expert for the evaluation of the actual price of an emerald.

14k White Gold



Gold although is not the most precious of the elements still it is considered precious and the one metal that has been known for ages as the choice for making jewelery items. Gold is the preferred choice of metal when you talk about making some jewelery. It is because it is the most ductile and malleable metals to exist. It is in fact so malleable, that translucent sheets can be drawn out of it.

Gold has also got some other unique properties like it non-corrosive nature which allows it to remains in its pure form for many years and this is why it is very easily extracted form gold mines.

White gold is an alloy of gold made by adding palladium or nickel as an impurity. Usually 18k or 14k gold is alloyed to make white gold. White gold is cheaper than pure gold due to less gold content. But working on white gold is difficult as it is very hard and brittle so making costs of white gold ornaments are usually higher.

Now a days it is more trendy to wear white gold jewelery as it is attractive to wear unlike the traditional yellow colored gold jewelery. White gold jewelery requires rhodium plating which is not quite expensive and gives the ornament a good finishing touch.

Teleportation



Teleportation means that a body is transferred from one point to other in an instant without the need of any material body to carry or transport the teleported body. This is a staggering concept in the field of science. The idea of teleportation existed much earlier in the history. Most of fairy tales of magistic stories have something related to teleportation.

But this idea of teleportation in fairy tales is some what impossible as it only talks about teleportation through magic. Obviously science wasn't developed in those times and there was no such thing as technology.

The real idea of teleportation using technology gained much popularity after its introduction in science fiction literature and movies. The moist notable of these is the Star Trek series in which the idea of teleportation really started to make scientists think towards it. There are many theories that support teleportation but there are also some contradictory ones. But only time and technology will tell how successful teleportation can get.

Currently scientists have really achieved teleportation but not in a complete manner. This was only done on a photon and the teleportation technology is still waiting to expand.

The Anaconda



Anaconda is the biggest snake in the world but many take it as, also the longest snake that exists in the world. The truth is that Anaconda is considered largest because of its weight and not its length. Python is one snake that can grow even more than Anacondas so they are regarded longer than Anacondas.

Typical length of this snake is up to 28-29 feet with a diameter which can be more that 12 inches. Anacondas have a variety of species which have different colours and sizes but the most popular and common among these are the 'Green Anacondas' and 'Yellow Anacondas'. Anacondas are massive creatures having massive jaws for holding and chewing its prey.

They use their enormous force to whirl around and suffocate its prey, before they can kill it. The Anacondas are a non-venomous snake specie i.e. they do not kill by poisoning their prey, instead they squeeze it to death.
