1. Many unscrupulous merchants often fake tourmaline with materials such as crystal, fluorite and glass. Therefore, the first step to identify the authenticity of tourmaline: how to identify natural tourmaline and counterfeit.
Crystal and tourmaline: mainly observe their colors. Generally speaking, purple is more common in crystals, while tourmaline is purplish red instead of purple. On the other hand, the crystal is not as red and green as tourmaline, and we can roughly identify the authenticity by using the color difference between the two.
Fluorite and tourmaline: From the hardness comparison, the hardness of tourmaline is 7.5 degrees on Mohs, while the hardness of fluorite is only about 4 degrees on Mohs. The two can be compared by scratching the glass.
Another point is that fluorite is often made of multi-color materials when posing as tourmaline, and tourmaline has no purple. Just when the multicolor of fluorite appears, it often has purple, so it is also an effective means to distinguish fluorite from tourmaline. Glass and tourmaline: judging from the internal inclusions, there are often small and round obvious bubbles in glass, but tourmaline inclusions do not. There is another way for glass to pass off as tourmaline, that is, to pass off cracked glass as rough tourmaline. This kind of glass is usually dyed after bursting, so the color dyes are gathered in the gap, which is easy to distinguish by light transmission observation.
2. Identify the authenticity of tourmaline Step 2: How to identify the authenticity of artificial tourmaline and natural tourmaline.
Artificial tourmaline is mainly filled with glue. This filling method is mainly used in some rough tourmaline carvings and beads. This tourmaline has poor permeability and rough and loose texture due to ice cracks inside. It can be improved by injecting glue to cover up some cracks and impurities. The surface of the treated tourmaline is enlarged and rubbed, and there are cobweb-like corrosion traces similar to jade B. Moreover, the treated tourmaline is not bright enough and its internal cleanliness is not good.
There is a feeling of mixed glue. 3. There are some simple ways to identify tourmaline:
1. When the surface temperature of tourmaline increases, electric ions will be generated. These ions can adsorb dust and hair around them. You can take a tourmaline bead from the bracelet at home, rub it back and forth with cotton cloth for a few minutes, and then touch it with a small piece of paper cut by scissors. If it can be absorbed, it shows that it has electrothermal characteristics.
2. Most natural tourmalines contain many inclusions. There are two kinds of tourmaline inclusions, one is a gas-liquid inclusion in the form of broken balloon fragments, and the other is a needle-like thin tubular inclusion. Tourmaline also has obvious multi-colors, and tourmaline will have different color changes from different aspects. But there will be no purple.
3. If it is a tourmaline cut gem, generally speaking, high-quality natural tourmaline bare stone is basically free of impurities and cracks because of its excellent permeability and internal structure.
And its transparency is also very high! High-quality tourmaline will not be stuck at all, and high-quality mineral materials will almost always be made into tourmaline cut gems, so there is generally no need to worry about high-grade tourmaline gems being stuck, and bare stones with lower prices will be stuck. Moreover, tourmaline, which is generally used as a gem, has an appraisal certificate. Purification and degaussing method of tourmaline
Tourmaline is no more degaussing and purifying than other crystal ornaments. It should be noted that you can't contact water directly. Why is it easy to inject tourmaline glue? After contact with water, the glue inside will evaporate, so the original defects of tourmaline will come out. Why? This is also done to increase the production of tourmaline. It can be degaussed by moonlight irradiation for about 8 hours, or by amethyst holes, crystal clusters and degaussing bags (bags filled with crystal rubble). These methods are all rapid degaussing purification methods, which usually take about 4 hours.
