do gemstones have thermal properties?
<answer> Yes <context> One such method is the measurement of thermal properties. The term thermal properties include specific heat, thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity, and thermal inertia. Heat energy may be transferred in one of three ways: radiation, convection, and conduction.he higher the thermal diffusivity of a material, the faster it will pass heat energy from one point to another. Thermal conductivity, on the other hand, is a ratio of the flow of heat through a given thickness of material to the temperature difference across this thickness.
