2. REAL OR FAKE GEMSTONES To enjoy the full benefits of gemstones, they must be natural but not counterfeit. The Vedic astrology which serves to use the gemstones for remedial purposes is a discipline that has already seduced many people in the world and especially in India Indeed, even if many still ignore it, know that the minerals present in these stones can bring many benefits to people who use them. However, for this to be truly effective, it is essential to recognize the real gemstones from the fake ones.

3. HOW TO IDENTIFY IF GEMSTONES ARE REAL OR FAKE? The gemstone is hot Natural gemstone should be cold on first contact. This is not the case for resin, glass, or plastic. A fancy stone that is a little too exotic If you see gemstones with strange names such as fruit names like melon moonstone, raspberry Sapphire, and so on, or country names like Africa Ruby, Australian Pearl, and so on, be careful! Perfect gemstone Perfection does not exist. A gemstone is likely to be fake when it is too bright, too symmetrical, and flawless. Impurities and inclusions must be found. VS VS

4. A clear color No stray color should be visible, such as orange for Ruby or purple for Sapphire. The color of the gemstone should be clear and uniform. Air bubbles If you see air bubbles, the gemstone is a fake. You should never see air bubbles in a natural gemstone. The price A very low price is already a good indication that something is wrong. In natural gemstones, prices can be higher or lower depending on the value of the gemstone. But the likelihood of a gem dealer offering you a big discount on a precious or semi-precious stone is very rare. If you want to buy a gemstone, you should always go to a reputable gem dealer. And a very expensive gemstone should always have a certificate.

5. HOW TO IDENTIFY THE ORIGINALITY OF EACH GEMSTONE Pearlstone There are many ways to tell if a Pearlstone is real or fake, but we'll get to the point. Like gently rubbing the Pearlstone on the sharp edge of your tooth. If the contact is slippery, it's a fake. A real Pearl is rough, you will feel roughness and a slight crunch. Also, the difference can be seen simply by eye but you need a trained eye. Every Pearl is different and has small imperfections in its shape. If the Pearls stones in front of you are perfectly round and identical, they are certainly fake. And finally, the temperature of the Pearl. Take the Pearl in your hand and if it has not recently been in contact with a warm body, a real Pearl will be cold and will take some time to warm up. Ruby stone The only gemstones that will be able to scratch Ruby will be other Rubies, or a Diamond depending on their hardness on the Mohs scale. It could be that a fake Ruby is actually just a piece of scarlet glass. Fortunately, it is quite simple to identify for us by comparing it with another piece of glass to see how similar it is under natural light, if the glowing is non-existent, and if the hue observed is similar, then you are dealing with a counterfeit.

6. Sapphire stone Sapphire, whether blue, yellow, pink or white, is a relatively beautiful gemstone with excellent crystallographic and optical properties, but if you don't see any inclusions, it is quite possible that it is a synthetic Sapphire. Also, if you detect bubbles and the lack of inclusions in the crystals under the microscope. So it is fake It is also worth noting that counterfeiting techniques are evolving, and the technology to make it harder to identify artificial Sapphire is still a long way from being on the market. Emerald stone Emerald is a green gemstone with a large number of inclusions. These inclusions make each gemstone unique and are not necessarily perceptible to the naked eye. They are, however, noticeable when examined with a gemologist's loupe. The higher Emerald's purity, the more difficult it is to discover. On the other hand, the absence of flaws or false patterns can lead to the assumption that it is glass or crystal.

7. Hessonite stone Hessonite is light yellow, comparable to cow's urine, owl's eye, or hawk's eye in aspect. The color of the gemstone is also close to that of honey. And if we go to the extreme to find out if the Hessonite is real or fake, one must put it in cow urine and let it rest for 24 hours. If the color of the cow's urine changes, it means that the Hessonite is genuine, otherwise it is counterfeit. A real Hessonite or Gomed gemstone will be soft to the touch, smooth, and heavy. Furthermore, under magnification, in the gemstone, a honey-colored shadowed area can easily be observed. This is evidence that the gemstone in your hands is real and not fake. Cat’s eye stone Like all natural gemstones, a genuine Cat's eye stone contains some inclusions that appear within the gemstone, which are also clearly visible to the naked eye. A genuine Cat's eye stone is hard and does not break when scratched against a solid substance. So, to find out if a Cat's eye is genuine, you can scratch it against a hard substance and see if it rubs off, in which case it is a fake gemstone. To be sure that the gemstone is genuine, you should go to a gemologist who will be able to carry out a thorough check and determine whether the gemstone is real or fake.

8. Red Coral stone There are several methods of identifying Red Coral, but we will choose those that may be effective. Like putting the Red Coral stone in milk. Since the red color of the gemstone will be radiated and absorbed by the milk. As a result, the color of the milk will change, indicating a genuine Red coral. And also by rubbing with the fingernail. If a glass rubbing sound is emitted, then the Red Coral is fake since imitation corals are made of glass.
