What to pay attention to when buying sapphire
In recent years, colored gemstones have gradually become the new favorite of the collection industry. Of course, sapphire has also been favored by consumers with its own dazzling brilliance, but what should you pay attention to when purchasing sapphire? First of all, the color of sapphire, maybe some people think that sapphire is a blue gem, but it is not. Although sapphire is a blue word, it is not only a blue color. In fact, sapphire is a general term for other colors of corundum except ruby. So in addition to blue, there are pink, pink, yellow, green and white sapphires. Among these colors, blue is the most popular. But pink and orange sapphires are also very rare and of high value. The main producing areas of sapphire are Kashmir, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Myanmar, Australia, and Shandong Changle. Among them, the sapphire of Sri Lanka and Kashmir is generally indigo blue with a slight purple color. The color is bright and pure, the transparency is high, the quality is very good, and it is worth collecting. The sapphire in Australia and Shandong Changle is common in the market, but they have poor transparency and impurities, and the merchants will optimize their methods to make them lighter and lighter. Therefore, the Changle sapphire we have seen is generally optimized. The more precious the gems, the more imitations there are. The more common replicas of sapphire are crystal, topaz, zircon, fluorite, and glass. However, imitations cannot mimic the hardness and density of sapphire. In addition to diamonds, sapphire is the hardest mineral. The hardness of a diamond is 10, the hardness of a sapphire is 9, and the hardness of a crystal is 7. Therefore, in order to identify sapphire, you can use it to draw glass, and imitation goods can't, can be regarded as one of the identification methods. Second, the official agency's certification is also a guarantee of sapphire quality. Regarding how to pick sapphire, of course, sapphire is selected according to the 4C standard. 4C: color, clarity, cut, weight. The first thing to look at is color and fire. The brighter the color, the more pure and uniform, and the higher the saturation, the more collectible the gemstone is. Second, look at the clarity, that is, see if there are impurities, flaws and cracks. The other is to look at the cut. If it is a faceted sapphire, look at the symmetry of the facet and the proportion of the overall gemstone cut. Finally, if the above conditions are basically similar, the larger the sapphire, the better.
