Beware from the Gemstone Suppliers or Dealers While Purchasing your Favorite or Lucky Gemstone

Isn’t it pinching when you go to buy an expensive gemstone for yourself and you get handed with a phony? Of course those heavy gemstone bills are pinching. But the fake products are even more disappointing. The gemstone sellers don’t leave even a single room to be fool the buyers.  Hence, it would be a better way if you stay prepared by knowing the exact differences between the fake and original gemstones.


Just by looking at any gemstone at first glance it is impossible to make out whether it is real or fake. The major difference lies in their formation and chemical properties. Hence, you need to have a more detailed study of the gemstones to know their true worth. 

The physical characteristics

The imitated gemstones appear more glaring and impressive in nature. They are more polished and made all the more impressive to lure the buyers. However, if you want to save yourself from the phony gemstones, make sure that your gemstone do carries those natural inclusions. Never get impressed with a perfectly looking gemstone as they have been vigorously treated in the labs. The fake gemstones are also good, provided you are not mistaken them with the real ones.


Another important physical characteristic of a natural gemstone is that they rarely look impressive! So, if you are being handed with a gemstone that is more glaring in looks; beware! Our can initiate some heat treatments to know the originality of the gemstones. The processed ones would eventually lose their luster, whereas the natural would become shinier.

More weight doesn’t means more substantially!

The original gemstones are comparatively light in weight. They have a lesser shine as well. So, you might feel more elated to buy a heavy shining stone instead of a dull colored light-weighted one! The lab created gemstones are made out of glass and may comprise of tiny bubbles within them.  They have even color and a perfect look to catch the eye of the buyers. Coming to the real gemstones, they have crooked edges and array uneven lusters and inner indentures. They have uneven rounded edges and comprise of certain natural cuts.

Breathe and It will turn foggy!

The easiest way to detect the lie of the gemstone seller is to do the fog test. Simply blow some hot air from your mouth over the jewelry piece. If it turns hazy, it’s fake! The real gemstones would never get affected with the fog test. They maintain their luster in all such circumstances.  

The surface would tell the truth!



Feel the surface of the bought gemstone. It would probably be more coarse and rough if it is fake.  The natural ones may not look very shiny, but they are super-smooth when you touch them. 

Check whether the stone is an assembled one or not 

Assembled gemstone consisted of varied materials together. The naturally mixed materials give birth to the high quality gemstones. However, the synthetic ones use artificial agents to retake the same effect. Check out a penlight to identify the assembly. Check out the colorless ones as they are the originals. 


The malleability factor


The artificial stones are bendable and can get hammered. They can get shaped through abrasion, cutting and fracturing. Such stones have a more metallic ore in them. So, when you hit hard over these gemstones, you would see them getting converted into another shapes instead of being shattered. The real gemstones are not flexible; hence they break on being hammered.

Go for the certified ones 

The gemstone sellers cant be fool you if you demand for the GIA certified gemstones. The gemological institute certifies the original gemstones for the safety of the innocent buyers. The GIA institute works exactly lay the hallmark jewelry. It has higher return value and a satisfaction of mind. 

At last but not the least, buy a book that would let you know the difference between the fake and the real gemstones. Don’t mind clearing your doubts with the gemstone sellers. Check out their pricing. The original gemstone can never be inexpensive. And, lastly rely upon the jeweler who would test the jewelry piece on your behalf.
