There is a beautiful legend about garnet. It is said that the lover of Goethe, Ululu, often wears the red garnet that has been handed down from generation to generation. This string of gems is now in the museum of Bohemia. When she was only 19 years old when she first saw Goth, she fell in love with him deeply. Because of the age difference between the two, her love was opposed by the family. But this stubborn girl's love for God is like her garnet in the family. Every time she meets with God, she will bring garnet because she believes in the legend of garnet; she can convey the message of love between lovers. She wants the garnet to witness her loyal love. How do you like this garnet to identify its true and false and how to buy it?

First, the identification of garnet and similar gemstones and imitations

A series of gemstones similar to red garnets include red spinel, ruby, red tourmaline, and red meteorite.

There are many gems in nature that are similar in color to various garnets, such as rubies, sapphires, emeralds, artificial corundums, etc. They are all non-homogeneous and can be distinguished under polarizers. In addition, it can be distinguished in terms of density, inclusion, refractive index, dispersion, fluorescence, and the like.

Second, the identification of garnet and synthetic garnet

The main difference between natural garnet and synthetic garnet is the internal inclusion and density. Synthetic pomegranate is uniform in color, flawless, occasionally a small amount of bubbles, red under the color filter, high density, and various natural garnets have some enamel or crystal inclusions. The interior of the glass replica is cleaner, and some spherical, crumb-like bubbles can be seen under the magnifying glass.

Third, the garnet purchase considerations

1, garnet if the color is super transparent, if the price is very attractive, leisurely, there are problems.

2, look at the cotton wool impurities, garnet is easy to have black spots, ice cracked.

3, garnet is heavier than crystal, take it under your hand, if it is lighter than powder crystal, you should be careful.

4, the garnet contrast is delicate, the appearance feels very slippery, feels very comfortable and very oily.

Fourth, the purchase and collection of garnet

Garnet belongs to the middle and low grade gemstones. There is nothing worth collecting. Only the precious varieties have certain investment value and collection value. But the red pomegranate and garnet that appear on the market today are rare varieties. Color is the determining factor determining the value of garnet. Green garnet, especially garnet, has a higher market value and can be used for collection. Because the production of garnet is scarce, the color is green. If you can encounter garnet with good shape, good craftsmanship, large particle size and high transparency, it is worth collecting, and its value is comparable to that of emerald. Most of the garnets are less than 1 carat, 2 carats are very rare, and 5 carats are world class stones. Followed by red and orange-red garnets. Currently, there are generally dark varieties on the market, and the rose red of garnet is very rare. Garnet with cat's eye effect, if its color is positive and the star line is good, the value will be very high.

The above is the method of identification, purchase and collection of garnet. I believe that the more you know about garnet, the more you will like it. The good garnet is comparable to red sapphire and emerald. It is very collectible!
