So how to identify powder crystals? Many people hope to find some answers to help them choose. It seems that how to identify powder crystals is really not a science. Then I will share with you some tips on how to identify powder crystals, hoping to provide some help when you choose powder crystals.

First, there are four kinds of powder crystals:

First, the traditional powder crystal: the output is large, and its powder crystal often has white stone grain, natural moire or natural ice crack, and it is opaque and the cheapest.

2. Hibiscus powder crystal: Hibiscus powder crystal is slightly transparent, and its value is judged by its mellow texture and delicate color. A good hibiscus crystal does not have any white stone lines, and its color is delicate, bright and elastic. The surface light of the crystal will have a bright and moist texture like water or even oil.

3. Ice-seed powder crystal: Ice-seed powder crystal has a high permeability, which is famous for being as cool as ice. Ice seed powder with good appearance will also have a pink texture with the powder, but there are fewer natural clouds or natural ice cracks inside.

Starlight powder crystal: Starlight powder crystal refers to powder crystal without stone particles, and its permeability is supplemented by pink. Under a single light source, you can see that the centers of three straight lines intersect to form six obvious rays.

There are several methods for your reference:

1, temperature: the heat transfer of powder crystal is fast, while that of glass is amorphous and slow; After wearing the powder crystal for a short time, you will find that the powder crystal is synchronized with the body temperature, and the glass will feel warm.

2. Weight: Compared with synthetic crystal, natural powder crystal is heavier, while synthetic powder crystal feels mild.

3. Hardness: The hardness of pink crystal is seven, while the hardness of glass is six. Gently draw a line on the pink crystal with something like jade. No scratches can be seen in pink crystals, but scratches can be clearly seen in glass.

4. Color: Color is very important for any gem, and crystal is no exception. If the crystal is colored, such as pink crystal, topaz, amethyst, etc. The highest standard of color evaluation is bright and moving, and there are no other shades such as gray, black and brown. Such as pink crystal, the color is better with pink; Amethyst, bright purple in color, pure but not black; Topaz, the required color does not contain green and lemon tones, and golden orange is preferred. For hair crystal, the color of crystal is also very important. Golden hair crystal hair, crystal completely colorless (white crystal) slightly brown, the visual experience of the naked eye is also different, so the price of the former will be higher than the latter.

5. Clarity: The clarity requirements of crystals and high-grade gems are quite different. High-grade gems are scarce, so people generally don't ask too much for the purity of high-grade gems. However, the output of crystal is really amazing, so people usually require the higher the purity of crystal, the better, and try to avoid crystals with obvious inclusions.

How to identify inclusions in powder crystal 2

As the name implies, it is to distinguish between true and false by observing the substances in powder crystals. Because crystal stone is naturally produced by geological process, there are inclusions, natural ice cracks, clouds and color changes in it. Artificial crystals are almost "flawless" because they are concentrated and synthesized by factories or laboratories.

Handfeel discrimination

That is, by touching the crystal, the authenticity can be distinguished according to the texture. Pure natural crystal feels cool and has weight in your hand. Artificial crystal feels gentle and light.

Expert testimony

Send it to a special national gem appraisal institution for appraisal. Many artificial secondary synthetic crystals in the market, pay attention to whether they are accompanied by national identification certificates when buying to prevent fakes.

Observation method

Observe the color of pink crystal. The color is tender pink, crystal clear to the light, slightly transparent with a small amount of floc, and no crack is the top grade. Such as starlight pink crystal, the pearl bottom will present six unique lights under the strong light of a single light source. However, the common starlight powder crystals on the market are all artificially processed to create a starlight effect.
