Seek to identify the authenticity of garnet, is there a fake garnet to teach you to see the authenti

01 We need to understand how to distinguish the authenticity of garnet, so the first thing to know is the real natural garnet, what are its characteristics?

Garnet chemical composition: Al3BE2[SiO4]3, in terms of crystal structure, the garnet group belongs to the equiaxed crystal series of gems, in the crystal structure, it belongs to the island silicate, the common crystalline form is rhomboidal dodecahedron, quadrangular trioctahedron and polymorphic, and the crystal plane can see growth lines.

Crystal system: It belongs to the equiaxed crystal system.

Physical Properties: Refractive Index:. Hardness:

7-8。Density: grams of cubic centimeters.

Origin: Sri Lanka, India, Madagascar, the United States, China and other countries. Gem-quality garnet minerals have been found in more than 10 provinces and regions in China.

Color: The common is red (specifically divided into three types: burgundy, rose, and purple).

The most intuitive characteristics of garnet are: first, the specific gravity is very large (larger than other crystal gemstones), in layman's terms, it is heavier than other crystal gemstones. Second, because it is a naturally grown and crystallized gemstone, it is natural that there will be natural growth textures, ice cracks, and cotton bodies (similar to the growth texture of cotton wool).

Third, the hardness of garnet is relatively large, which is greater than that of ordinary glass. Fourth, the crystalline body of garnet is very small, so the particles are large and very small.

02 fake garnet, the more advanced means is to artificially simulate the crystallization process of natural garnet, with industrial means, to accelerate the crystallization speed of garnet, so as to grow artificial garnet, because the crystallization process is very short, so, usually this kind of synthetic garnet will be very pure, no impurities, no natural garnet should have natural growth texture, such as cotton wool, ice cracking, etc. Another aspect is that its luster is not as good as natural garnet, and it is not so moisturizing.

The low-level means is that it is directly smelted and synthesized, and this kind of artificial garnet is usually used for inlay rings.

03 Understand the characteristics of natural garnet, and the principle of fake garnet, it is much easier to identify, jojo summed up the following aspects for the reference of experienced friends:

First, if the garnet color is super bright and transparent, if it is very attractive and leisurely, there is a problem.

Second, looking at the cotton wool impurities, the garnet is easy to have black spots and ice cracks.

Third, garnet is heavier than ordinary crystal, hold it in your hand, if it is lighter than crystal, you should be vigilant. (Weight is the key criterion).

Fourth, natural garnet is relatively greasy, it feels very moist and comfortable to the touch, and if it is dry, you should pay attention to it.

Looking at the ** downstairs, it's obviously fake.

It should be roasted agate or something, something in the middle of a dozen or twenty pieces.

What supermarket sells in **, either ** or pit, especially what with a small receipt** and the like, are all fools.

The original price is only more than 80, which means that it has not been cheated much, but this kind of behavior that deceives consumers is really atmospheric.

Is there a fake garnet.

Garnets have fakes. Garnet it is more transparent the better, this kind of will be more expensive, but it can not penetrate a trace of impurities, that may be imitation, so the crystal can be through the transparency to distinguish the real from the false, usually the imitation garnet is basically no impurities inside, even if there are impurities are evenly distributed, natural impurities are irregular, uneven.

2. Natural garnet is very delicate, the surface is very slippery, and it feels like it is coated with oil, while the imitation will feel like glass to the touch.

3. There will be some impurities inside the natural garnet, and cotton wool, ice cracks, etc. will generally appear. The imitation garnet is basically very pure, no impurities, even if some will deliberately make some ice cracks, but its formation is very uniform, natural is generally irregular, uneven, so we must see clearly.

Garnet is a common gemstone that is prized for its brilliant color and mysterious legends. However, while the market is flooded with garnet gemstones, many of them are counterfeit. So, how can you tell the truth of garnet from a fake?

1.Color.

Garnet's face and front color should be bright and uniform. Generally speaking, real garnets are orange-red or brownish-red in color, while counterfeit garnets tend to be dull or intensely green or blue, and if the garnet color is too bright, it may also be dyed.

2.Size.

Garnet sizes vary depending on the species, but if you see a garnet that is too big or too small, it is most likely a fake, as there is a range of real garnet sizes. In addition, real garnets have a special "flame" that can be seen in sunlight or other light sources.

3.Transparency.

Real garnets have high transparency, counterfeit garnets tend to have low transparency, and sometimes there are other impurities and bubbles, etc.

4.Hardness:

Garnet is a very hard gemstone, real garnet is indeed very difficult to scratch, and it is relatively heavy and relatively heavy to the touch. If you have garnets that are light or easy to scratch, then it is most likely fake.

In conclusion, to distinguish the authenticity of garnet, it is necessary to combine multiple aspects to make a judgment. At the same time, it is also necessary to choose an honest merchant to buy gemstones to avoid being deceived by counterfeit garnets.

Tsavorite and Fanta are all garnet families, and the ** for making ring noodles will be much more expensive than beads.

Good quality is generally made of ring noodles, and the materials used for bracelets are generally not very good.
