ʻO nā daimana paha ka hoaaloha maikaʻi loa o ke kaikamahine, akā ʻaʻole ʻo lākou wale nō ka hoaaloha.I ka wā e pili ana i ka pahu kāhiko kūlohelohe, ʻo kēlā kalapona kala ʻole ka piko o ka hau hau.Hiki mai nā pōhaku makamae i nā kala a me nā ʻano like ʻole, a ʻoi aku ka maʻamau ma mua o nā koho kaulana.
"ʻAʻole pono e nani nā pōhaku," i ʻōlelo ʻia e ka mea hoʻomaʻamaʻa koʻikoʻi, ka mea hoihoi a me ka Las Vegan Heidi Sarno Straus.Ua hoʻomaka kāna aloha aloha me nā pōhaku i ka makahiki 5, i ka wā i loaʻa ai iā ia ke apo me ke apo aniani e like me ke daimana.E ʻaʻahu ʻo ia iā ia ma nā wahi a pau.'Ōleloʻo Straus hiki iāʻoe ke hana i kahi'ōlelo likeʻole me kahi apo cocktail nui me nā pōhaku makamae."ʻAʻole pono e kūʻai i hoʻokahi lima a me hoʻokahi wāwae," wahi a Strauss.â€?Hiki iā ʻoe ke lilo i mea nani me ka ʻole o ka pupule.
Hoʻokahi ʻano??carat.Ke kaumaha o ka pohaku.Wahi a GIA, ua like ke kaumaha o hoʻokahi carat (0.2 grams) me ka paona pepa.
Hoʻokahi ʻano??ʻoki.Hiki ke ʻokiʻoki ʻia ka pōhaku maoli i nā ʻano like ʻole, e like me nā peʻa, nā papa, nā inlays a me nā cabochons.
Hoʻokahi ʻano??matrix.ʻO nā pōhaku e hoʻopuni ana i nā pōhaku.Hiki ke nānā aku me he "vein" i loko o kahi pōhaku, e like me ka turquoise.
Hoʻokahi ʻano??Ka paakiki o Moh.ʻO ka paʻakikī a i ʻole ka lōʻihi o nā minela he 1-10 ma kēia pae, ʻo ka pōhaku ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī (diamond) he 10 a ʻo ka pōhaku palupalu loa (talc) ʻo ia ka 1. Ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia ma muli o ke kanaka kālaihonua Friedrich Mohs.
Wahi a ka moʻolelo, he mana kūikawā ko kekahi mau pōhaku makamae, e hāʻawi ana i ka ikaika, makemake a olakino paha i ka mea nona ia mau pōhaku.ʻAʻole hiki iā mākou ke ʻōlelo inā he ʻoiaʻiʻo kēia, akā makemake mākou e manaʻoʻiʻo."Ke ʻaʻahu au i nā pōhaku makamae, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o koʻu kino ma mua o ka wā ma mua," wahi a Strauss.ʻO wai ka mea ʻike?
Aia nā kumu ʻepekema he mea weliweli ka pōhaku.ʻO kēlā me kēia ʻano pōhaku e like me ka noʻonoʻo, ka waihoʻoluʻu, a me ka iridescent, no ka mea, hoʻokumu ʻia ke ʻano o ka geology paʻakikī, kemika, a me nā kūlana kikoʻī, ʻo ia ka mea maʻamau i mau tausani makahiki a i ʻole mau piliona makahiki.No ka laʻana, e like me ka Gemological Institute of America (GIA), kekahi o nā ʻōmaʻomaʻo ʻōmaʻomaʻo o ʻAukake birthstone olivine samples he kiʻekiʻe e like me 4.5 biliona makahiki a hiki i ka honua ma ke ʻano he meteorites.
I mea e mahalo nui ai i ka lei pendant, e ʻoluʻolu e hoʻokaʻawale i kekahi manawa e aʻo ai i ke kūkulu ʻia ʻana o kona mau pōhaku.Inā ʻaʻohe mea ʻē aʻe, e loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi pane kūʻokoʻa i nā hoʻomaikaʻi e hiki mai ana.
He palahalaha a poepoe ka oki turquoise, e like me ka wafer vanilla.ʻO ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, ʻoki ʻia ka garnet i nā noodles liʻiliʻi.No ke aha i ʻokoʻa ai ke ʻano o nā mea nani?ʻepekema!
He mau minelala me kahi ʻano aniani kikoʻī e ulu ana ma ka honua e like me kā lākou haku mele.Pono e ʻoki ʻia ka pōhaku e like me kona ʻano ponoʻī.ʻO ke kumu o ka ʻoki ʻana i nā pōhaku makamae e hoʻonui i ke kala."ʻO kēia ka mea e pili ana i ke kukui e hele mai ana a mai loko mai o ka pōhaku," wahi a Strauss.ʻoki ʻia ka pōhaku i loko o ka hale aniani nui loa, i loaʻa iā ʻoe kēlā kala kaulana.

Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ʻo Opal ma hope o ka lua pele i mau miliona mau makahiki i hala.ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ia ka pōhaku kūhelu aupuni!Eia kekahi, ʻaʻole hiki ke loaʻa nā waihona mineral kūlohelohe ma nā wahi ʻē aʻe o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.Eia kekahi, e like me ka travelnevada.com, loaʻa i ko mākou mokuʻāina nā mines ʻōmaʻomaʻo loa ma United States.
Inā makemake ʻoe, hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa i kāu mau pōhaku a me nā minela ma Nevada.Wahi a ka Bureau of Land Management (BLM), ka mea nāna e hoʻomalu i ka hapa nui o ka ʻāina ma ke kuaʻāina ʻo Nevada, ʻo ka "rattlesnake" he helu kūpono o nā ʻano minerala, nā pōhaku, nā pōhaku makamae, nā lāʻau petrified, a me nā mōʻalihaku invertebrate.“???Hiki ke hana ʻia kēia hana ma ka ʻāina aupuni, akā e ʻoluʻolu e kelepona iā blm.gov/basic/rockhounding no ka ʻike hou aku.
Inā makemake ʻoe e komo i nā hana alakaʻi hou aʻe, e kipa aku iā Otteson Brothers Turquoise Mine (ottesonbrothersturquoise.com/mine-tours, $150-$300).Aia ka huakaʻi i kahi ʻeli turquoise.A i ʻole, inā makemake ʻoe, hiki iā ʻoe ke noho ma ka home a nānā i ka hōʻike Amazon Prime e pili ana i ka ʻoihana ʻohana Turquoise Fever.
