How to distinguish a precious stone from an artificial one. Talismans for Gemini. Demantoid or green garnet

It's no secret that women love gemstones. Some men (maybe most), it must be said, also understand a lot about jewelry, trying to profitably invest in gold and diamonds or just to please their beloved.

When investing in diamonds, you should be careful: there are special investment diamonds, not jewelry diamonds.

The rules of the game are now dictated by the consumer, because the supply on the jewelry market greatly exceeds demand. Jewelers are interested in every client, because jewelry is not a matter of prime necessity, and the buyer needs to be interested in time, otherwise he can spend money on something else, more necessary.

The need to purchase a piece of jewelry with a precious stone arises on special occasions: for a wedding, anniversary, birthday and other holidays. Having studied, or, we usually move on to the following questions:

How to distinguish natural stone from synthetic?

How to distinguish a natural gem from a fake?

To answer the first question, we will first make a brief overview of which minerals are most often sold on the jewelry market.

Comparison of natural and synthetic minerals

When purchasing a gemstone, you want to be sure that it is natural. However, many are willing to buy and wear synthetic counterparts, such as synthetic rubies or diamonds, and there is nothing wrong with that. Everyone has their own taste and preferences. The main thing is that under the guise of natural you are not sold synthetic, because this is fraud and deception of the buyer.

Self-respecting jewelry houses and brands do not mislead consumers and will not give out one stone after another. Small manufacturers or sellers can go for deception, who answer the questions: what gem is inserted into the product? and who is the manufacturer ?, they answer: “I don’t know,” and they begin to talk vaguely about the long journey from Iran through Australia, during which information about the manufacturer is irretrievably lost. On the tag of such sellers, the type of product (earrings, for example) and the price are modestly indicated. It may also be written by hand - "ruby", but, as can be understood from the above, you can write anything you want, and usually - the stone with which the most outward resemblance.

Deception in the sale of synthetic stone can only be inflated prices. If a product with artificially grown chrysoberyl is sold for $ 10, then there is no fraud in this. Another thing is if for the same product they ask for 10 times more, 100 dollars, for example, giving out, thus, for a natural gem.

In jewelry stores, as a rule, it is not indicated which stone is natural or synthetic, especially if the products belong to the so-called "budget" niche. But the seller, of course, will easily confirm the origin of the stones from the laboratory and even competently make it clear why synthetic stones are better than natural ones.

But a synthetically created diamond is even more expensive than its natural “relative”.

So, here is how the prices of natural and synthetic stones compare:

Synthetic and natural stones - differences in price

It can be concluded that natural gems have a very wide range of prices due to their individuality. Unlike them, synthetic ones - with ideal purity and color, are much more affordable (with the exception of moissonite).

How to distinguish a precious stone from a fake?

It is much worse if instead of one natural stone, which is expensive by definition, the seller offers another, also natural, but at a price several times cheaper. Here, information about which stones are most often faked and what to look for when buying them can come to the rescue.

So, the most common fakes are:

- it is most often faked. More than half of the gems passed off as turquoise are fakes. The materials used for counterfeiting are glass, plastic, and the cheap mineral howlite. In addition, fakes are made from turquoise powder or its small particles that stick together. It is quite difficult to distinguish such fakes at home from a natural mineral. It is clear that at home you can scratch the stone from the back to make sure it is natural, and when choosing in a store, you are unlikely to be allowed to scratch the product and carry out other manipulations with it. Therefore, just be aware that natural turquoise is very difficult to find and it is better not to purchase it on the market or from hands.

- Corundum is usually issued for a ruby. A natural ruby ​​is very expensive, besides, it is far from ideal in appearance - unclear, not particularly clean, not to mention modest in size. If you have an excellent quality ruby ​​at an affordable price, it is either a synthetic ruby ​​or a fake. Therefore, the main rule for determining the authenticity of a ruby ​​is the correspondence between price and quality. So, a ring with a ruby ​​that has the characteristics of color and purity of 3/3 and a size of half a carat will cost about $ 300.

There are only a few stones whose fakes are quite easy to distinguish.

Or rather, of course, t. Firstly, the legislation regulates the production and labeling of products with diamonds and, thus, the consumer is largely protected. In addition, everyone knows the simple property of a diamond to scratch glass, as well as the play of rays in it - it is simply impossible to fake it, but it is very easy to consider multiple refraction of rays and an amazing play of light in a high-quality diamond.

It is also easy to distinguish natural opal from its imitation - it has blurry borders of patterns, unlike clear ones in a fake, and the patterns themselves never repeat with each other, you should carefully consider them. In addition, the main background of the natural opal remains unchanged, regardless of the pattern. There is another method that was invented many centuries ago (apparently already then they were engaged in fake stones) - you need to look through the opal in the sun, a natural stone will cast a glow of one shade, and a fake one - bright multi-color highlights.

Zircon - you can recognize it "by eye", without resorting to any manipulations at all. Natural zircon has a luster similar to diamond and at the same time resinous or oily. Shine plus color - and zircon is easily identified.

The popularity of precious and semi-precious stones is growing day by day, so it is not surprising that some sellers are trying to cash in on it. Nowadays, the chance to buy a fake gem is simply huge. But this can be avoided if you know what exactly is most often passed off as precious crystals, and what properties real stones have.

Most often, oddly enough, among the fakes you can find precious stones, which, it seems to us, are quite common. Imitation champions include turquoise, garnet and moonstone.. We are used to the fact that they are inexpensive and quite affordable, but this is not entirely true. These gems are indeed not too rare, but they are by no means as cheap as we used to think. Therefore, the first thing you should pay attention to when buying jewelry with one of these stones is the price.

How to recognize fake turquoise

For example, beads made of natural turquoise cannot cost 20-30 dollars, since the price of this mineral, even for one gram, will be significantly higher. But, really, if we talk about the so-called. precious turquoise, which is almost impossible to see on sale in modern products. This turquoise is extremely sensitive. The mineral itself is quite porous, so it reacts rather badly to excess moisture, lotions or creams. He also does not like very dry air and bright rays of the sun. In general, natural turquoise is more durable than pearls, but not too much.

Even less resistant to external damage is semi-precious turquoise. Its density is lower, and the color is less even than that of the precious. It is she who makes up more than 80% of the production of this mineral. In order to improve the color of turquoise and prolong its life, it is stabilized. Most often, they are impregnated with wax to enhance the brightness and strength of the stone.

The cheapest variety of natural turquoise is pressed. It is obtained from stone chips mixed with resins and dye. Formally, such a stone can be considered natural, since it is made from the same mineral. Pressed turquoise is the brightest and most stable. It is this gem that is most often found in modern jewelry. But, despite the cheapness of the pressed variety, you can still find many fakes on the market.

Turquoise is imitated with plastic, glass, ceramics and cheaper minerals. And if glass is easy to recognize by its characteristic ringing, and plastic, trying to pierce a stone with a hot needle, then with other imitations it is somewhat more difficult.

It is worth paying attention to the size of the stone. A natural turquoise bead cannot be larger than 5 millimeters. However, the pressed stone can be large. Then you need to consider the holes in the stone (if we are talking about beads). They don't have to be white on the inside. You can also try scratching the gem. If nothing works out for you, you have faience, glass or another mineral harder than turquoise. If, on the contrary, the stone is easily damaged, but at the same time a whitish trace remains at the site of the scratch, or the layer is separated by a light powder - this is a painted fake. If, when trying to scratch a bead or cabochon, chips will form - your “turquoise” is made of plastic. All these manipulations should be done from the wrong side of the stone.
We often sell dyed howlite under the guise of turquoise. In nature, this mineral is gray in color. It is softer and lighter than turquoise, and also has a more vitreous luster.

Signs of a Fake Moonstone

The moonstone can be considered the leader in the number of fakes. In Russia, its less transparent variety is more common - belomorite. Finding a genuine gem is much easier abroad than here. Most often, the moonstone is imitated using opal glass. I must admit that such an imitation looks much prettier than a real gem. But if we are talking about how to determine the authenticity of a moonstone, then all we need is attention. The structure of a natural mineral is such that, regardless of its color and degree of transparency, overflows in it can only occur from a certain angle of view. Unlike imitation, which can cast blue even when you look at it at a right angle, real belomorite has this property only if it is tilted at an angle of 15 degrees. Hold the stone in your hands and tilt it in different directions. If the glare and reflections remain unchanged, then you have a fake.

There is another interesting way to determine the authenticity of a moonstone. Dip the stone or product with it for one hour in water. No metamorphoses will happen with a fake, but a natural gem will look much more beautiful and brighter than before immersion.

Pomegranate Authentication

Garnets have always been considered quite affordable and cheap stones in our country. But recently the situation has changed somewhat. Therefore, the number of fakes on the market is growing. Most often, this gem is faked with glass. Therefore, it is not difficult to determine the authenticity of a pomegranate. Take a piece of glass with you to the store and try to scratch it with the gem that is offered to you. If the pomegranate is natural, this procedure will not harm it, but a trace should remain on the glass.

Czech garnets are considered quite popular in the world. They can be distinguished from others by color and size. An authentic Czech garnet cannot be larger than 8 millimeters. But most of these pebbles in products correspond to sizes of 3-5 mm. The Czech garnet has a very beautiful purple-red color without a hint of red. Therefore, if under the guise of a Czech garnet you are offered a stone with an orange tint or a rather impressive size, further tests do not make sense - they want to sell you an imitation.

The surest way to test a pomegranate is with a magnet. To do this, you need: a saucer with water, a piece of foam, a magnet and the actual object of verification. A product with a pomegranate or the crystal itself must be placed on a piece of foam floating in a saucer. Then we bring a magnet to the gem. Starting at a distance of a centimeter, the gem should begin to be attracted to the magnet, if it is real.

Once in Yakutia, not far from the Chara River, an amazing stone was found, which was called charoite. This mineral is unique in its properties and rarity; no other deposit has yet been discovered in the world. The beautiful purple hues of the stone with intertwining patterns captivate everyone who sees it. Jewelers note that charoite is easily polished and processed, and lithotherapists love the stone for its impressive list of qualities that help to heal.

When we talk about how to distinguish a diamond from a fake, glass, or other cheaper minerals, we don't always mean diamonds. In many cases, we are talking about a diamond - not processed, not polished, not cut. Some consumers prefer to buy diamonds in this form, then to give them for processing, or simply as a talisman, because the diamond has magical and healing properties. Thus, the question of how to distinguish a diamond from a fake is a separate topic, and now we will talk about how to distinguish a diamond.

Amber jewelry is very popular among the fair sex and among men who believe in its healing and magical properties. They are not expensive and will never go out of fashion.
But how not to be deceived when choosing a product? How not to stumble upon a fake and distinguish it from the original? There are several ways that you can resort to both at home and in the store.
It must be remembered that amber is a fossil stone, fossilized resin and has certain characteristics and properties.

How to distinguish amber from a fake:

Jasper products are very popular. They can be purchased both in specialized stores and on the shelves of the market and supermarket. You will say that with such a policy, you can easily buy a low-quality product or a fake? You don't have to worry about it, because jasper has a huge advantage over other stones - it can't be counterfeited!
Jasper is a very durable and hard mineral, so its processing is a very painstaking and difficult process that requires the participation of expensive equipment. Such work is only possible for a professional in his field. It is simply impractical to fake jasper on a production scale.

There are two main methods of imitation of onyx. The first technique is the chemical combination of cheap agates with various elements to obtain the proper color and consistency of the forged stone. The second technique is the production of an artificial chemical material that resembles onyx in consistency, color and internal pattern. This material is made of heat-resistant polymers, which in structure resemble something between glass and plastic. This material is usually used for cladding buildings and interiors.
What are the ways to distinguish a real stone from a fake?

Currently, the fake of certain minerals is not uncommon. Despite the fact that the cost of jade is small compared to the cost of many other stones, it is also forged. Other ornamental stones, which are much cheaper, plastic, etc., can be passed off as natural jade. In the case when the seller or manufacturer deceives his customers and sells a fake jade, it's a shame not only for the lost money, but also for the fact that imitations do not have such magical and healing properties as real jade.

Going to the salon for a precious stone, many are afraid that they will be deceived. Unfortunately, these fears are often not in vain, because each of us can become a victim of scammers. Therefore, intending to buy the beautiful stone in question, it is simply necessary to know how to distinguish a moonstone from a fake. Of course, it is difficult to say more precisely for an experienced jeweler whether a fake is in front of you or a natural mineral, however, there are a number of ways to determine the authenticity of a stone.

An expensive mineral, beautiful in appearance and associated with luxury, sophistication, status - pearls - are grown artificially. This is known to everyone. Today it is quite difficult to find natural pearls. However, there are ways to tell pearls from imitations and from outright cheap fakes.
In fact, there are many ways to identify pearls.

Instruction

The first sign of a fake is too high quality. It is very rare to find natural gems of a larger size and without defects. This applies to amber, and to turquoise, and to rubies and chrysolites. If you are offered a large gem with absolutely no flaws and for money, think about it. However, if the price is not ridiculous, there is also reason to think. Stones of this quality must have a certificate of authenticity and are sold only in serious jewelry stores.

The next important criterion is hardness. Almost all gems have a higher density than glass, and therefore will leave a noticeable scratch on it.

High density also provides lower thermal conductivity. Everything feels colder to the touch than glass imitations. Touch the glass and quartz with the tip of your tongue and you will immediately feel that the quartz is much colder to the touch.

Amber is easily identified by its electrostatic properties. Rub it on a woolen thing, and then bring it to finely cut paper. Paper will instantly be attracted to real amber. Glass has no such properties.

Topaz is easy to distinguish by its characteristic "slipperiness". They are very easy to polish and feel silky to the touch, glass imitation will never be as smooth.

A real emerald always contains inclusions inside that resemble small or feathers. Because of them, it seems to be hazy and does not have a strong brilliance. Take a close look stone under a strong magnifying glass. A clean, flawless emerald will most likely be a fake.

Real amethysts always have a heterogeneous color and various inclusions. Even in absolutely defect-free amethyst, under strong magnification, the smallest air bubbles, cracks and twisted spirals are visible.

Very often fake natural turquoise. The ancient Egyptians started doing this. Now it is possible to accurately distinguish a fake only after a complete spectral, gemological and chemical analysis. So be mindful of the price. Jewelry is rare and only in small pieces. Therefore, a product with an insert made of natural turquoise cannot cost less than $ 200.

Select by nameThere is also the option to select gems by . It is justified by the fact that the name is a sound vibration.

Finding precious stones is currently not a big deal, since developments at most deposits have been closed due to the unprofitability of such work. By finding out the location of these closed developments, anyone can collect the necessary tool and go to those places in search of happiness. It should be remembered that, although the search for precious stones and metals is not prohibited, it is possible to extract and store valuable minerals only with a license.

For those who do not want to waste their time on abandoned mines, there is an option to go to active fields. These currently exist in Thailand and Sri Lanka. You will also have to pay for the right to work, but the acquired license will give you the right to own all the wealth found. Sri Lanka occupies the first place in the extraction of precious stones. The process of their extraction has not changed since ancient times, the tools remain the same, a shovel, a bucket and a sieve for washing.

In ancient times, Sri Lanka had a different name, these shores were called Serendip, and it was from there that the most famous gems were always brought. Their numbers have not dwindled to this day. Holes are dug in a dedicated area, the rock is lifted up in a bucket, and after washing, the found semi-precious and precious stones can be processed. Of the modern technology in these mines, only pumps pump water out of them. You can't do without pumps, the water is very fast. For this reason, among other things, the developers do not use even the simplest equipment in the form of excavators - deep lakes remain at the site of their work. In old, deep mines, air is also supplied with the help of pumps; working there is very dangerous and unhealthy.

When choosing a precious gem by name, it is necessary to take into account personality traits. Remember that some people have manners consistent with what is attributed to their name, while others do not. Therefore, when choosing a stone for yourself, rely more on your inner voice: you will like it - that one is more suitable. If you are looking for a stone by name for a gift, consider its magical properties and compare it with the behavior of the future owner.

If your name is Alexander, Alexandra, or they called you Oles, Olesya by the derivatives of this name, feel free to opt for Alexandrite. This chrysoberyl is designed for domineering natures, will always lead you to victory. Alexandrite gives the owner fortitude, balancing the mind and emotions.
