Posted by admin on May 29, 2009

Synthetic sapphire can also be impersonated as a sapphire. Then, how to identify it? First,look at the texture to check whether it is the texture of natural crystal or not. The texture of natural crystal is often disheveled and disordered, which is usually the genuine thing. While the crystal of synthetic sapphire is always in an orderly way. Of course, the inside of many synthetic sapphires is perfectly clean and flawless, which is usually fake. Because there are always some impurities in natural precious stones, clean and perfectly flawless ones can hardly be found. This synthetic sapphire often has a glaring color,very shallow gloss. It does not have the deep color as the natural one. Precious stones, on the other hand, have high purity and unglaring color, the glory of which injects out naturally from the inside.

This is just some basic methods of identification of precious stones. To learn to identify in depth and master this skill, you need to see more and practise more.
