Natural stones are preferred in many areas from jewelry to decoration with their beauty and energy. However, it is very important to distinguish natural stones from fake ones. So, how to understand natural stones? In this article, we will discuss the tips for recognizing natural stones and what you should pay attention to.
1. Color and Texture
Natural stones come as they are found in nature and therefore their colors and textures are unique. Natural stones have irregular patterns on their surface, differences in color tones and natural traces of minerals. Fake stones usually have a perfect and uniform appearance.
2. Coldness and Heaviness
Natural stones are usually cold and have a certain weight when you hold them in your hand. Fake stones are usually lighter and at room temperature because they are made of plastic or glass. The coldness and weight of a natural stone is an important clue in determining its authenticity.
3. Light Transmittance
Some natural stones allow light to pass through slightly in thin sections. For example, stones such as amethyst and citrine appear translucent when held up to light. Completely opaque or very transparent stones may be fakes.
4. Hardness and Durability
Natural stones have a certain hardness on the Mohs hardness scale. For example, quartz group stones are quite hard and difficult to scratch. Hardness can be checked by scratching the stone. Fake stones are usually softer and easily scratched.
5. Price
Natural stones are priced according to their quality and rarity. Stones sold at very low prices in the market are often fake or of low quality. It is important to know the true value of the stone and to buy from reliable sellers.
6. Documentation and Certificates
Trusted sellers usually provide certificates along with natural stones. These certificates verify the type, quality and authenticity of the stone. Checking if there is a certificate with the stone you buy helps in understanding the authenticity of the natural stone.
