Gemstone painting is an exclusive Indian art form, which has been going on for centuries. Traditional techniques are used to make this painting out of precious and semi-precious gemstones like - Amethyst, Garnet, Turquoise, Yellow Agate, Jade, Peridot, Red Jasper, Blood-stone etc. The painting is done by first sketching on a glass plate & then using real powdered gemstones rather than paint for color. The entire process is done by skilled and experienced craftsman with hands and there is no machinery used.
