5.Turquoise Distinguish

In the marketing, most of goods are made of “Fakes” turquoise. It is surprising that they have not too ashamed to say “they are natural turquoise”, which is causing our indignation.So if you want to collect the natural turquoise. You must be careful enough of this kind of products, consider it over and over, then decide what to do next.

But how can we distinguish between the ”nature” or “fake” turquoise? The problem is very simple to work out.

Firstly, we can do it for international authority test organization that according to the standards of the rules of the ICA.

Secondly, we can test it for ourselves the main gist of the turquoise physical and chemical characteristic. Many ways as following:

Ⅰ.we may observe their surface. The surface of the material applied a layer of boiled oil or paraffin has no lustre. The colour of the material is very even, and even the matrix of all the material is also quite same. So manual marks are extremely evident on this kind of material;

Ⅱ.Then with the aid of 50-time microscope, we can see the structures in the shape of a ball in the material. However the natural turquoise has no structure like that;

Ⅲ.At last as soon as we may rub their surface and burn them, the turquoise will smell terribly bad as if the plastic were burnt, at the same time their shape will all be changed, because some material are made from plastic. Others are made by pressing soil or pulverized turquoise we all call them “Fakes” turquoise.

Thirdly, Associated with some of the turquoise deposits are two other gem materials that can resemble certain colors and shades of turquoise, but are separate mineral species. The first is variscite and the other is faustite. Both have been mistaken for and marketed as turquoise. Attractive gem stones can be cut from both variscite and faustite and therefore, would be note worthy as gem materials on their own.
