How to tell the authenticity of an obsidian bracelet with small beads? I bought a 108 obsidian bracelet online, but the beads are too small. I don’t know how to tell the authenticity with my hands.
Obsidian Pixiu Bracelet Identification
1. Ordinary obsidian without rainbow eyes, that is, the beads are still black when viewed against the light under strong light without any other reflection. This type of obsidian has the largest output, but has the lowest market value, and is generally used to make large carvings. There are very few fakes of this kind on the market, but there are also unscrupulous merchants who use stained glass as fakes (the most common ones are these small Pixiu pendants, with retail prices ranging from a few yuan to more than ten yuan per pair) and inferior black stones (usually large carvings). It is characterized by many gray and white spots/spots/bands that can be seen under light). It is very difficult for non-experts to distinguish these two types of fakes. The best way is to have less contact with obsidian without rainbow light.
2. Rainbow Eye (Light) Obsidian, that is, if you look at strong light, you can see green/purple/yellow reflections. This type of obsidian is of better quality. Rainbow eyes are relative to obsidian beads, such as bracelets or some small items such as obsidian gourds. Rainbow eyes are concentric circles: rainbow light is relative to obsidian carvings. What they show is not a circle but a round shape. One piece, such as a Pixiu carving pendant, etc.: rainbow eyes such as double rainbow eyes (one on each side of the bead) that are completely round and large, and the light shines is the best, and if it is crescent-shaped, it is the second best;
If it is a rainbow light, the reflection must flash to be called good. If it does not flash, it can only be a rainbow light of average quality. In addition, there are many sellers on the market who are hyping full green/full purple eyes, and the price is several times that of ordinary double rainbow eyes. In fact, the all-green/all-purple rainbow eyes do not prove that its quality is better than the ordinary double rainbow eyes. If you have to give a reason, it may only be that the all-green/purple eyes are more beautiful or more difficult to match.
Obsidian maintenance methods
1. Replenish obsidian energy. Although obsidian contains sufficient energy, it will eventually be used up one day, so obsidian must be replenished with energy regularly. Obsidian can be replenished by placing it under sunlight. Obvious effects will be seen for more than two hours a day. Obsidian can also be placed under moonlight to replenish energy. It is said that the effect is greater during the full moon.
Reminder: Do not expose the Taoist Alchemy Consecrated and Blessed Buddhist Beads Bracelet (please click on the blue link to learn more) under the moonlight, because the moonlight plays a role in Feng Shui and Dharma. The center belongs to Yin. The full moon is when the Yin energy is at its strongest, which will weaken the positive energy of obsidian. Obsidian blessed by Taoist elixirs can replenish positive energy as long as it is exposed to the sun for a few minutes. Because Taoist elixirs What Gong receives is also the positive energy of the sun.
2. Demagnetize obsidian. After wearing obsidian for a long time, it is necessary to perform a comprehensive maintenance on the obsidian, which is degaussing. Just add special salt to the water, which is what we call royal salt, and then soak the entire obsidian in the water for a whole day, and then rinse it with clean water.
