The art of carving a gem is quite similar as it was in the ancient times. The only difference is in the significant tools that are used now a days rather than it was used before. The procedure initiates by the search of the right stone which can have potential value after it is carved. The colour as well as the state of the gem is firstly selected at the initial stage of the gem carving procedure. After cutting the gem further it is then goes through the next step that is grinding. The grinding procedure is carried out effectively by allowing the stone size to be slightly bigger than the desired shape. Throughout the grinding procedure water flows to restrict the stone to heat up. The gem is then coated with a mixture of powder as well as olive oil to provide the stone a slurry look. Then a driller tip is coated with this mixture and then this driller is used to carve the gem to the desired shape. Then the hole is made within the gen with a gentle pressure onto the particle. Now the gem is ready to be mounted in a ring or mounted on a core as a pendant. The colour of the gem can be enhanced by soaking it into a compound that is made up of iron compounds. Then the gem is heated up so that the colour can be more enhanced and prominent. The different types of tools are then used to provide the gem a desired shape. The modern day carve uses an electric drill to give the gem a desired shape. In this way a gem is carved from a big lump of stone.
