== What is an "organic gemstone" even? ==

See main page: [[Organic gemstone-like compound]]

There are very few "organic gemstone" (as to this wikis definition of them) these include: 
* [[Diamond]] (and it's somewhat symmetry changed varieties including [[lonsdaleite]]). <br>
* Carbon nitrides (like β-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub> [[beta carbon nitride]]), carbon phosphides, carbon borides
 
There are also [[Metal free gemstone-like compound|metal-free gemstones]] with at least 50% carbon like e.g. [[moissanite]]. <br>
These could be called a semi organic gemstone, but including the semi-metal silicon is really stretching it.

== How to fuse them together with "normal gemstoes"? ==

The question here is how to fuse these organic gemstones together with all the other possible gemstones. <br>
The main difference here is the atomic diameter. Metal atoms are quite big when compared to carbon atoms. <br>
Furthermore metal atoms often have high bond order due to their d-valence-orbitals and like to for coordinate bonds (aka dative bonds) and <br>
(taking one step further to the left in the periodic table) metals are sometimes are quite ionic.

Inspiration for the desired gemstone coupling could be taken from: 
* Teeth and geometry of chelating agents. -- See [[Coordinate bond]]
* Bonds in metalorganic compounds.
* Bonds in [[sandwich compound]]s.

The spacial context for fusing gemstones is much different though <br>
with a dense stiff policyclic gemstome like bond framework on each sides behind.

Bonding to organic graphene onto gemstones (organic or not). <br>
E.g. maybe to do surface passivation of larger gears. <br>
Possibly with bonds similar to the ones found in [[sandwich compound]]s.
