Cotton wadding is formed because there are tiny gaps or impurities inside, which affect its air permeability. The more transparent and clear, the denser and purer the structure. It's better to look foggy than crystal clear. It's always a pity not to know.

Third, how to identify the authenticity of garnet bracelets?
There are not many fake garnet bracelets on the market, but some of them are fake garnets made of other materials, or artificial garnets are sold as natural garnets. Therefore, we should learn how to identify the authenticity of garnet bracelets:
1, look at the color
The natural garnet color is Burgundy, similar to the color of wine. The surface is crystal clear, and generally the color will look more beautiful in the sun. Fake and shoddy products are usually dark red with dark color and no obvious luster on the surface.
2. Look at the traces of mines
The real natural garnet has some defects or crystal inclusions, because there are many ice cracks, cotton wool and other substances in the raw ore, which are the traces formed by ground pressure during the growth process, and will not disappear even after processing; Counterfeit products do not have this unique mineral trace.
Step 3 consider
Garnet is ground from raw ore and is generally heavy. Because its weight will not be extracted during the grinding process, it will be found to have a certain weight when picked up.
Step 4 look at processing
Real garnet bracelets are generally carefully processed and finely crafted. Each bead is uniform in size, round and bright in color, with few mineral traces and internal ice cracks. Rough workmanship is not necessarily fake, but the low collection value is certain.
Step 5 touch your hand
A good garnet bracelet is finely polished, delicate, smooth and comfortable, and feels a little oily. Garnet-like bracelets generally feel poor, dry and touch the glass.
