Gems. A beautiful product to work with. In addition to the fact that gemstones have a beautiful appearance, these stones are also attributed certain powers, although these have never been scientifically proven. Yet many people like to wear gemstones for their powers or for their symbolic meaning . It makes the piece of jewelry just that little bit more beautiful to wear or give. But then that stone must of course be real.
Delivery Inspection Service of Value: gemstones
In the meantime I have seen quite a few stones and I can say that I have experience in recognizing real stones. In addition, I also check with the supplier where the stones come from. But guess what... According to the episode about gemstones of the inspection service of value, you can't tell if some stones are real with the naked eye. Citrine also seems to be a burnt amethyst. By heating an amethyst, this stone gets the same beautiful yellow color as citrine .
Have gemstones examined for authenticity
That is why I have decided to have my stones examined in the Naturalis laboratory once in a while. Of course I want to sell what I sell. And if you choose the stone for certain powers that the stone has, I want to have done everything I can to guarantee this authenticity.
The outcome
No sooner said than done and I have now received the Naturalis report. And… luckily my citrine is really citrine . In addition to citrine, I also sent topaz and lapis lazuli. These stones are also real lapis lazuli and real topaz. The beautiful color of the topaz is due to heating, which the supplier also explained to me.
