How To Tell If A Sapphire Is Real
You may probably have a natural sapphire stone that you are questioning its authenticity. It happens in everyday life, you may have something that is original but your mind continues questioning its originality. Well, here are some simple investigative techniques you can try on your own, no gemologist required, to quickly tell if your sapphire crystal is real or not.
Look For Flaws:
The first step in determining the authenticity of a sapphire stone is to hunt for any imperfections, defects, or impurities. To test if it is real, use a magnifying glass. To determine if the sapphire gem is real, inspect its surface closely. If it is a natural gemstone, you will see small imperfections on its surface attributable to nature's development.
Although untreated sapphires are sometimes entirely flawless, the presence of minute impurities is likely an indication that you have a natural sapphire stone. Sapphire stones without inclusions are frequently suspected as manufactured or glass imitations. Inclusions are obvious to the naked eye in many situations, but they are only viewable with 10x magnification in others.
Sapphire inclusions can take the form of other minerals, cracks, or fractures. These natural flaws are generally a good sign that the stone is real if you see inclusions.
