Among the natural crystals, white crystal, tea crystal, citrine, amethyst, and amethyst are the types of natural crystals that are often imitated, and it is difficult for ordinary consumers to identify whether they are real natural crystals. , There are many colored crystals are white crystals after radiation treatment.
So, how do we identify the authenticity of the crystal? There are endless methods on the Internet, let me organize and introduce them for you!
Observation: The growth process of natural crystals is extremely complicated. During the formation process, it is often affected by the environment. There are always some impurities in the crystals. Catkin-like substance. The imitation natural crystals are mostly smelted with inferior crystal slag and glass slag, processed and polished, colored and imitated. The crystals are often accompanied by bubbles, and there are no uniform stripes and catkin-like substances.
Through the feeling: cool and icy is the sticking point of natural crystal, even in the dog days of hot summer, when you touch the natural crystal with your hands or lick the surface of the natural crystal with your tongue, you will have a cool and refreshing feeling. Fake natural crystal, there is no cool feeling.
Lighting effect: Natural crystal can reflect magnificent color and luster in sunlight, and smooth texture. Fake crystals cannot.
Hardness detection: Natural crystal has high hardness, so use a gravel to gently scratch the jewelry without leaving traces; if there are streaks, most of them are glass crystal or plastic crystal products.
Check with a magnifying glass: Use a ten times magnifying glass to check under transmitted light, and those who can find bubbles can basically be classified as pseudocrystals.
Specific gravity: If the weight is too light, it must be fake. In this way, imitations such as glass, plastic, and pressed particles can be excluded.
Refractive index: Most people like to look at the crystal under the light, so it is impossible to judge the authenticity of the crystal, only the grade of the crystal, because the crystal has a high refractive index. We can put the crystal in a darker place, and the natural crystal color will be very bright.
Chromatic aberration: Natural crystal has chromatic aberration. It is impossible for each part of a natural crystal to have a uniform color, such as citrine. There are very few natural citrines on the market. Natural citrine can be identified by placing it in water. The color of natural citrine in water is not uniform. Usually, a piece of color radiates to the whole crystal, which is yellow, and the crystal is absolutely uniform in color.
The above are the common ways to identify the true and false crystals. If you are interested in crystal jewelry, you can buy wholesale jewelry on jewelrykg!
