You do know how to identify natural crystal

In recent years, crystal jewelry popular in the jewelry market in terms of price, style, and features the kind of jewelry than other precious stones closer to people's lives. Then buy natural crystal jewelry, especially jewelry beading class time on how we can identify the authenticity of it?

Identification of natural crystal:
I. Grossly texture

Pure natural crystal in texture, Guangrun, crystal is better, if there are different shades of off crack length, spot, then is defective. Remove the texture of very pure natural crystal, the general will contain even small stripes or floc, which is due to crystal formation in the natural course of naturally formed by the environmental impact. The man-made crystal is difficult within the general phenomenon of the above, but because of melting bubbles arising from the synthesis process, but certainly not within the natural crystal bubble.


Second, light intensity and the refractive index

Because of the high refractive index crystal itself, put the sun to see it from all angles, can send a beautiful luster, and glass jewelry will certainly not do. Besides, given the inherent "natural light", so the natural crystal and glass on the light dark places at the same time, you will find crystal light will be brighter.

In addition, because the crystal has birefringence characteristics, the crystal on the hair, the hair can be seen through a crystal is a two shadows.


Third, the temperature touch

Glass of warm compared to sense the temperature of the natural crystal is a very "cool" in. In addition to hand-touch experience, some people still willing to "lick the tongue", or crystal placed next to experience the alar cheek, because these parts of the body are very sensitive to temperature areas.


4, color

Crystal will be some natural color, this is normal. That showed a piece of crystal can not very uniform color for each part of. If a piece of crystal into the water, can be found in the water, the presentation of the color is uneven. But the general man-made crystal or imitation of the color more evenly. But because we buy the crystal has been cut most processed, so buy the best selection of monochrome color when the crystal is uniform, or the fine lines.


5, hardness

Crystal is a Mohs hardness of 7, although Mohs gap between the diamond 10, but still relatively hard crystals. Therefore, if found to significantly scratch the surface, there may be imitations, but depending on circumstances.

The main origin of natural crystal materials:





Relative to the diamond crystal is regarded as a high yield of gem, mineral distribution in the world is also more widely, the world's largest crystal origin and export to Brazil. Found that many people are willing to buy crystal at the same time as the way to inquire about the origin of crystal, the following I would like to share on the domestic market under the main origin of natural crystal.

Crystal according to the different species around the world, representative of origin, while the domestic market before the natural crystal material mainly from the East China Sea in Jiangsu Province, "the East China Sea Crystal." As China's "Crystal Town", the East China Sea crystal crystal production output accounts for two-thirds. As early as 200 years ago by Qing Emperor Kangxi repair, "Annals of Jiangnan" in it for the exploitation of the East China Sea Crystal had written: "Ushiyama, the sea state in the southwest Fatal strike, production crystals." In addition, there are major domestic producing crystal Yunnan, Xinjiang, Qinghai, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia. However, the crystal manufacturers from Brazil, Uruguay, South Africa, Russia and other countries imported crystal.

However be noted that in recent years has limited exploitation of the East China Sea crystal, crystal products are basically the market shipped from Brazil, the original stone factory processed by the East China Sea, that is the East China Sea has gradually evolved into our most processing to the main crystal.

In addition, because part of the crystal produced in the crystal is superior to Brazil, Uruguay, Crystal, but because of political, environmental, economic and other reasons, Paraguay has many mineral mines closed, so the origin of the crystal if the market price will very expensive, and most of the ore body is not new.

The Austrian crystal, in general, this is the Swarovski crystal artificial crystal, do not try to understand when the natural crystal.

Around the crystal have different characteristics, if you want to know more about some of the many to walk around the market, will be gradually mastered.





Tourmaline (Tourmaline), also known as tourmaline, tourmaline from the name to see the first use of the above for research. Although tourmaline used as decoration in the history of jewelry is not long, but now it has become a major jeweler's like to use things, and tourmaline in China also has an excellent consumer market.




Emerald (Emerald), originated in ancient Persian, "Zumurud", intended for the green stone. Turning to the famous Emerald, we naturally can not it be compared with our common beryl. The biggest difference lies in the long-wave ultraviolet light, no fluorescence could be presented by a weak orange-red to purple to red fluorescence, while most other beryl no such fluorescence.




Moonstones (MOONSTONE), is a moonlight effect feldspar group minerals from a mixture of two kinds of feldspar. Therefore decided to effect its beautiful moonlight. Moonstones quality mainly from Myanmar, Sri Lanka, in China there are moonstones output, and the texture is also very good.




Chalcedony, is a aphanitic quartz. The most common chalcedony main products are relatively low priced products, bracelets, often these can be bought at the jewelry shop.




Garnet (Garnet), said that from the Latin "Granatum" evolved, meaning "as a seed." However, natural garnet with pomegranate seed crystal is indeed the shape and color very similar. Garnet, also known as Purple Teeth Wu also called "Ziya Ukraine", according to legend its name from the ancient Arabic, "dental Ukraine", meaning "ruby." Because of the color dark red garnet with a purple gem so called "purple teeth Ukraine."
