Crystals are natural gemstones ````
Identification of true and false crystals
(1) At first sight: During the formation process of natural crystals, they are often affected by the environment. The impact always contains some impurities. When observed against the sun, you can see faint uniform fine horizontal stripes or catkin-like substances. Fake crystal is mostly smelted from inferior crystal and glass slag, polished, and colored to imitate it. There are no uniform stripes or catkin-like substances.
(2) Tongue licking: Even in the hot summer days, licking the surface of natural crystal with your tongue will give you a cool and refreshing feeling. Fake crystal will not give you a cool feeling.
(3) Lighting: When natural crystal is placed vertically under the sun, it will emit beautiful brilliance no matter which angle it is viewed from. Fake crystals cannot.
(4) Hardness: Natural crystal has high hardness. Use gravel to gently scratch the jewelry without leaving traces; if there are streaks, it is a fake crystal.
(5) Check with a polarizer: if you rotate 360 ??degrees under the polarizer and there are four bright and four dark changes, it is a natural crystal, and if there is no change, it is a fake crystal.
(6) Check with dichroism: natural amethyst has dichroism, while fake crystal does not.
(7) Check with a magnifying glass: Use a ten-fold magnifying glass to check under transmitted light. If bubbles can be found, it can basically be classified as fake crystal.
(8) Use hair to check: Place the crystal on a hair. If the human eye can see the double shadow of the hair through the crystal, it is a natural crystal, mainly because the crystal has double refraction.
(9) Test with a thermal conductivity meter: Adjust the thermal conductivity meter to green 4 grids to test the gem. Natural crystals can rise to yellow 2 grids, while fake crystals do not rise. When the area is large, they rise to yellow. One grid.
Identification of natural and synthetic crystals
Another characteristic that distinguishes natural crystals from synthetic crystals is crystal luster. The surface of natural crystal jewelry shows a grease luster, but the surface of synthetic crystal jewelry shows Glass luster, there is no synthetic crystal with Shantou luster.
Although crystal is not a precious gemstone, it is increasingly loved by men, women and children all over the world for its unparalleled medical effects and low price. As a crystal lover, everyone hopes to have all kinds of crystals, whether natural or synthetic, but he must want to know whether his crystal is synthetic or natural.
The colorless crystal necklaces and citrine necklaces currently on the market can be said to be a mixture of natural and synthetic, while most colored crystal necklaces are synthetic crystals. There are fewer real natural colored crystals, and even fewer are used to make necklaces.
The biggest feature of synthetic crystal is that it has daughter crystal nuclei. If a synthetic crystal has a crystal nucleus, it is easier to judge because the crystal is generally a colorless long plate column with clear boundaries with the surrounding synthetic crystals. However, some colorless synthetic crystals have recently been put on the market. Because both the crystal nucleus and the synthetic crystal are colorless, and there are some natural inclusion features in the crystal nucleus or some bubbles between the crystal nucleus and the synthetic crystal, some experienced It is easy for people to mistake it for natural crystal. If you look closely, you will find that some kind of inclusion only exists in the Zi and the Lord. There is a feeling of being intercepted by an invisible wall around it, which is broken but not extended. The bubbles between the crystal nucleus and the synthetic crystal are distributed along the crystal nucleus wall, forming "bubble walls" that are parallel to each other. Some bubbles are tadpole-shaped, with their heads facing the wall and their tails outwards. In natural crystals, clusters of inclusions arranged along one surface often appear, but this surface is often single and undulating, and the inclusions that make up this surface are mostly binomial inclusions under a gem microscope. Not just bubbles. The difference between the two is still obvious.
The second characteristic of synthetic crystals, especially colored synthetic crystals, is the uniformity of smoke color. The color of the entire necklace is relatively uniform, especially the yellow crystal series and brown and black synthetic crystals. Natural yellow, brown, and black crystal colors are often uneven. Natural crystals are not only uneven in color, but are often brown in color (except for brown crystals). What is even more interesting is that under the white orange lamp at night, the tea-colored crystals do not have a little yellow, and are completely like brown crystals. If mixed with tea crystal, it will be difficult to identify. The synthetic citrines I have seen are all pure and uniform in color. Some of them have darker tones, but they do not have a tea tone, and they will not change color under white orange lights at night.
It is worth noting that in synthetic amethyst, there are often some well-oriented dark purple flakes, which are easily reminiscent of the irregular flaky chromophores in natural amethyst. The biggest difference between the two is that the dark purple color clusters in synthetic amethyst are arranged in parallel lamellar crystals with little difference in size and shape. The dark purple flakes are likened to floating "purple cloth pieces", while those in natural amethyst are The purple mass
can be seen as a floating "purple smoke mass". This is the main difference between the two.
Natural colored crystals, especially amethyst, also have a characteristic, which is the hexagonal color band like sapphire. What is striking is that parallel color bands often appear in some synthetic green crystals, and the color bands develop parallel layer by layer along the crystal core. The author has also seen a string of synthetic green crystal necklaces. The yellow and green colors appear in the countryside, which are very similar to the color bands of natural crystals. In addition, there are some brown translucent solid impurities inside, which can easily be mistaken for natural green. Crystals, but the color bands formed by synthetic crystals are distributed parallel to the core wall, straight and at an angle. The entire chain of crystals in the necklace has consistent color band changes. The color band of each grain is narrow and the color change is the same, giving people a A feeling of being too "in sync" and unnatural.
The third characteristic of synthetic crystal is that it is clean and flawless. There are often inclusions and cotton in natural crystals, while synthetic crystals are crystal clear. Some synthetic crystals have bubbles or some solid impurities. Recently, some synthetic crystals often have some triangular long tubular pores, and there are green and fiery red powders in these pores. The characteristic of this kind of long tube is that it is arranged parallel in one direction and has a triangular cross-section. There are often uneven green and fiery red powders distributed along the wall. The middle is often empty. The ends of the long tubes have The trend of sharpening. The real natural hair crystals are crystals containing minerals such as tourmaline, actinolite, and rutile. Each of these minerals has an air crystal shape, such as the "bamboo-like" shape of actinolite. They are wrapped in crystals, arranged randomly without direction, with different thicknesses, lengths and names, and are often accompanied by inclusions and cotton inherent in natural crystals.

Crystals are divided into fineness grades. There are many factors that affect the price of crystals. Unlike diamonds, which can be judged by 4Cs, everyone needs to listen, see and compare more to truly identify them. The general standards are that the larger the crystal stone, the better, the more transparent the better, the more delicate the color, the better, and the more typical the shape, the better. But the most important thing is what you like, and the methods to identify authenticity when purchasing are roughly as follows:
(1) At first sight: During the formation process of natural crystal, it is often affected by the environment and always contains some impurities. When looking at the sun, you can see faint uniform fine horizontal stripes or catkin-like material. Fake crystal is mostly smelted with inferior crystal slag and glass slag, and is imitated by polishing, coloring, and no uniform stripes or catkins.
(2) Tongue licking: Even in the hot summer days, licking the surface of natural crystal with your tongue will give you a cool and refreshing feeling. Fake crystal will not give you a cool feeling.
(3) Lighting: When natural crystal is placed vertically under the sun, it will emit beautiful brilliance no matter which angle it is viewed from. Fake crystals cannot.
(4) Hardness: Natural crystal has high hardness. Use gravel to lightly scratch the jewelry without leaving traces; if there are streaks, it is a fake crystal.
(5) Check with a polarizer: if you rotate 360 ??degrees under the polarizer and there are four bright and four dark changes, it is a natural crystal, and if there is no change, it is a fake crystal.
(6) Check with dichroism: natural amethyst has dichroism, while fake crystal does not.
(7) Check with a magnifying glass: Use a ten-fold magnifying glass to check under transmitted light. If bubbles can be found, it can basically be classified as fake crystal.
(8) Use hair to check: Place the crystal on a hair. If the human eye can see the double shadow of the hair through the crystal, it is a natural crystal, mainly because the crystal has double refraction.
(9) Test with a thermal conductivity meter: Adjust the thermal conductivity meter to green 4 grids to test the gem. Natural crystals can rise to yellow 2 grids, while fake crystals do not rise. When the area is large, they rise to yellow. One grid
