The difference between natural crystal and artificial crystal

The difference between natural crystal and artificial crystal

(1) The color distribution of natural purple crystal is uneven, irregular sheet-like distribution, gas-liquid inclusion body; synthetic purple crystal color is uniform, and the center has a crystal nucleus.

(2) Natural crystals are also available in colors such as citrine and smoky quartz. If it is blue-orange, it is artificially colored. The difference between the color-changing crystal and the natural crystal is that the color of the color-changing crystal is bright and uniform, and irregular irregular swatches are not seen. Artificially colored crystal prints will fade slowly after a long period of use, losing their decoration and appreciation.

(3) Looking at the sun, natural crystal jewelry can be seen in any way, even with fine horizontal stripes or catkin-like texture, while fake crystal jewelry is usually regenerated with residual crystal slag or glass smelting, and polished. Coloring and counterfeiting, no uniform stripes and catkins are seen against the sun.

(4) In the sun, natural crystal jewelry can radiate beautiful brilliance from any angle, while fake water jewelry does not have such brilliance.

(5) The refractive index of natural crystal is 1.54; the refractive index of pseudo-crystal is generally less than 1, or is far from the refractive index of natural crystal. Crystal is an excellent quartz crystal, most of which is colorless and transparent, and a small amount of different colors due to various trace elements. It is transparent, high in hardness and good in refraction. Necklaces and glasses made of high-quality natural crystals have become high-end decorations and practical products for beautifying life and rickets.
