Quick question: Is there any kind of comprehensive site you can recommend for looking up gem varieties? You always name stuff i haven’t found all in one place so I was curious. Thanks!

I look at this one as a refresher a lot, it’s a good list! Probably easier if you know what they actually look like off the top of your head but still, the fact that they’re organised by colour is good

http://www.mindat.org is another one I find good for looking at detailed information like composition, varieties, associated minerals, origin etc

Sorry it’s not much but I hope it helps!!
