How to distinguish between rock crystals and synthetic crystals?
[Edit this paragraph]
Fashion collectors like to collect rock crystals, but they are often blinded by a large number of synthetic crystals on the market. How to distinguish between rock crystals and synthetic crystals? There are three differences between the two:
① At first glance: During the formation of rock crystals, there are always some impurities affected by the environment. When observing the sun, you can see bright, uniform and tiny horizontal stripes or catkins. However, fake crystals are mostly made of inferior crystal slag and glass slag, which are melted, polished and colored, without uniform stripes and catkin-like substances.
② Lick your tongue: Even in the dog days of hot summer, licking the surface of the crystal stone with your tongue will make you feel cold and cool. Fake crystals are not cool.
③ Illumination: The crystal can emit beautiful light from any angle when placed vertically in the sun. Fake crystals don't work.
4 Hardness: The hardness of the crystal is high, so it will be lightly scratched on the jewelry with gravel, leaving no trace; If there are stripes, it is a fake crystal.
⑤ Inspection with a polarizer: When rotated 360 degrees under a polarizer, the rock crystal with four bright and four dark changes, and the pseudocrystal without change.
⑥ Check with dichroism: natural amethyst has dichroism, while fake amethyst has no dichroism.
⑦ Examination with a magnifying glass: When examined with a magnifying glass of ten times under the transmitted light, the bubbles that can be found can basically be classified as pseudocrystals.
8 Check with hair: If the crystal is placed on a hair, the human eye can see the double shadow of the hair through the crystal. This crystal is a rock crystal, mainly because it has birefringence.
⑨ Detection with thermal conductivity meter: Adjust the thermal conductivity meter to green 4 squares to detect gems, and the rock crystal can rise to yellow 2 squares, while the false crystal does not rise, and when the area is large, it will rise to yellow 1 square.
First, the color group and color film of amethyst.
In synthetic amethyst, there are often some deep purple flakes with good orientation, which are easily reminiscent of the characteristics of irregular flake color groups in natural amethyst. The biggest difference between the two is that the deep purple clusters in the synthetic amethyst are arranged in almost parallel sheets, with little difference in size and shape and obvious boundaries; However, the natural amethyst color group is irregular, the tone depth changes and the boundary changes gradually. If the purple blocks in synthetic amethyst are compared to floating "purple cloth blocks", then the purple blocks in natural amethyst can be regarded as floating "purple smoke blocks".
Hexagonal bands and parallel bands.
Another feature of natural amethyst is that it has a hexagonal ribbon similar to sapphire. However, the bands in synthetic green crystals are often parallel bands, which develop in parallel along the crystal core wall layer by layer. There is a synthetic green crystal necklace, yellow and green appear alternately, much like the ribbon of rock crystal, and there are some brown translucent solid impurities in it, which can easily be mistaken for natural green crystal. The ribbons formed by synthetic crystal are distributed in parallel along the crystal core wall, and the whole string of crystal ribbons in the necklace changes in the same way, and the width and color of each ribbon change in the same way, giving people an unnatural feeling of being too "in step".
Third, the difference between inclusions and cotton.
In rock crystals, there are often inclusions and sponges, while synthetic crystals are crystal clear, while others have bubbles or solid impurities. Recently, some synthetic crystals often have triangular long tubular pores with green or red powder in them. This kind of long tube is characterized by parallel arrangement in one direction and triangular cross section. There are often uneven green or red powder distributed along the wall, the middle is often empty, and the end of the long tube is often pointed. Real rock crystals are crystals containing actinolite, rutile and other minerals, and each mineral has its own crystal form. They are wrapped in crystals, randomly arranged without direction, with different thickness and length, often accompanied by inclusions and cotton inherent in rock crystals.
How to choose crystal products?
[Edit this paragraph]
① Look at the selection of materials: crystal products with excellent materials should not have gas-liquid inclusions with star-shaped, cloud-like and flocculent distribution; It is best to be pure, smooth and crystal clear. If cracks and spots of different shades are found, they are defective.
② Look at workmanship: There are two kinds of crystal products processing techniques, grinding and carving. Such as crystal necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc. Belonging to abrasive products; Guanyin statue, painted snuff bottle, etc. It belongs to sculpture. A crystal product with good workmanship should be carefully considered, which can not only fully show the external beauty (shape, style, symmetry, etc.). ) crystal products, but also to maximize its inner beauty (crystal clear, smart color).
③ Look at polishing: the quality of polishing directly affects the value of crystal products. The crystal must be polished with emery during processing, and rough production will make the crystal surface have friction marks. Good crystal products have good natural transparency and luster, which is "fire head and foot" in local words.
④ Look at the eye hole: For crystal products (such as necklaces, bracelets and beads), it depends on whether the eye hole is straight, whether the thickness of the hole is uniform and whether there are tiny cracks. The hole wall must be clear and transparent without "white spots".
⑤ Look at the color: Even the same crystal has different textures and colors in different parts. It belongs to monochrome, and the chromaticity should be uniform; If there are tones on the same crystal, it is required that the tone lines are beautiful and generous.
