The quality grade of garnet has four aspects:
Color, the same quality, wine red, orange red, rose red, rose purple prices from low to high;
Transparency, the less ice cotton, the more transparent, the higher the price, and the crystal clear glass has the best texture;
Ice crack, the less ice crack, the higher the value, and the top grade without ice crack;
Flaws, the fewer flaws, the higher the price, and the flawless product is perfect.
Under the same quality, the bigger the beads, the darker the color and the higher the price. I attach some pictures of garnet in the collection (also known as vitreous body, clean body, top grade, 5A, 7A, etc. In fact, they are all the best flawless, crack-free and fully transparent crystals for reference. From top to bottom, they are Brazil rose purple, India rose purple, Madagascar orange red and Mozambique cooking wine red.
It is suggested to start with the best, collectible, and the price of wine red is not very high, 5-6mm beads, more than ten or twenty yuan a gram. The price of Brazilian rose purple is still relatively high. The top quality and entry-level color of Brazilian purple tooth black are about 4mm small, and you can start with dozens 1 1 g. Of course, the best purple is three or five hundred and one grams. The price of Indian rose purple is much lower, tens to hundreds of yuan a gram. Of course, the big price is much higher. The best wine red 9mm beads will cost 40-50 yuan a gram.
How to treat garnet;
First, you don't look at the color under the light. It looks beautiful in the light, but the color is different in natural light. This is from ruin. The color in natural light is the most authentic color. Many merchants' pictures have been beautified and their colors have turned purple. The picture is beautiful, but the real thing is not. Please pay attention.
Second, in the dark environment, you can see the ice crack defects under strong light, which is especially suitable for novices. In natural light, we often see ice crack defects, but in dark environment, we can see the crystal at a glance. Attached is a picture for your reference. There are cracks and there are no cracks. You can see.
Please believe that cheap can't buy good goods.
Send another collection-level picture of Brazilian purple tooth black for reference: fingertip string is the best.
