As we all know, gems are extremely charming and collectible, but many people only know that gems are precious, but they know very little about gems. They often make jokes when buying gems.
Below Xiaoxiao summarizes the most confusing gem cold knowledge in life, especially the last one, many people have made mistakes!
First: sapphire is not necessarily blue
sapphire refers to all colors of corundum gems except red , that is to say, pink, white, green, yellow, or those multi-color gems can be said to be sapphires. Just like the pink sapphire and so on that we often hear.
Second: emerald does not have "burn"
Many people who have purchased red sapphire may know that it may optimize the gems through through the "burn" process. The value of gems that have burnt will naturally be slightly lower, which will also be reflected in the identification certificate. But for emeralds, does not have the "burning" process , so don't ask this when we buy it!
Third: Gems may not be suitable for ultrasonic cleaning
Ultrasonic cleaning has a good effect on cleaning some residual oil stains on some jewelry, but it is not suitable for all gems, especially gems such as tourmaline and emerald , which have more cracks inside . This will only aggravate the cracks inside this type of gem and will only cause damage to gems.
gemstones are a very complicated thing, so when we purchase, we should fully understand its relevant knowledge, choose formal channels, and avoid being greedy for small gains.
