Understanding of imitation and synthetic gemstones Posted: 27 Aug 2011 07:40 PM PDT Stones or synthetic lab-created gemstones, as the name suggests, are made in a laboratory. Synthetic gems are not the rarity of the stones natural color and are less expensive than natural stones extracted. Due to the nature, synthetic gems can be made show subtle differences in shape and color to distinguish them from their natural counterparts. A synthetic gemstone is identical to a natural gemstone in almost every aspect. This includes the same basicCrystal structure, refractive index, density, chemical composition, colors and other characteristics. Since the same gemological tests for the identification of natural and synthetic stone precious stones are used, sometimes it is also a gemologist on, not whether a stone is natural or synthetic, can be confused. These stones can be made of colorless, or through the use of metal oxides, in many colors, and may resemble natural stone from many, including theAmethyst, diamond, spinel, emerald, opal, and corundum (ruby and sapphire). Alexandrite. Lapis lazuli, turquoise and coral from the French manufacturer, Gilson are made are similar to their natural counterparts, but are not true, the plastic, because their optical and physical properties are different from natural gemstones. Gilson Lapis, for example, is porous and has a specific gravity lower. Process for the production of synthetic gems Growth from melt: * The Flame and FusionVerneuil process Verneuil process for the production of jewels, a bar down with a "seed" inminerals and then melted again. Repeat this process again and again grows a large crystal at the end of a rod from ore zone. Ruby is then removed and polished. * Pull or Czochralski technique * Brigman-Stockbarger Technology * Hydrothermal Method Aquamarine and quartz crystals in a solution in an autoclave, where they controlled the temperature and pressure to create the raw material to be grown in the hottest part Lascas name. Crystals of seeds are in the coldest part of which the form of synthetic quartz glass Lascas redeposit. This processcan grow 30 to 60 days, and is also used for the amethyst, citrine and rock crystal. * Melt Flux Method * High temperature / pressure method: * Skull melting process Imitation stones can be made from any material such as glass, paste or crystal, ceramic, porcelain, acrylic and plastic. Ceramics are the most common food simulants and less expensive and are used as replacements for many popular types of gemstones such as turquoise, coral, jade, pearls. Imitation stones are to simulate a particular gemstone, but do not have the same chemical, physical and optical properties ofto distinguish natural gems such as synthetic gem and can therefore easily be synthetic and natural gemstones. Volcanic glass, a man-made substance, which are made of obsidian, volcanic ash, is a possible candidate for imitation aquamarine and light sapphire. Some examples of imitation stones are cubic zirconia, synthetic moissanite (Diamond) and yttrium-aluminum-garnet, diamond imitations. Since diamonds are so valuable and popular, the diamond market is huge and fraudMany additional simulants as cubic zirconia, GGG, YAG, strontium titanate, synthetic rutile and moissanite have emerged over the past 50 years. Other imitation stones of emerald doublet, Foil Glass (Opal), imitation lapis lazuli, Synthetic forsterite (tanzanite), synthetic forsterite (peridot). |
Moissanite Rings Vs Diamond Rings Posted: 26 Aug 2011 07:01 PM PDT Moissanite rings are becoming popular as a substitute for diamonds. It has almost the same appearance and quality as diamond rings.
