Hydrothermal emerald: what it is, properties and uses

Jewelry departments of trading houses attract with sparkling multi-colored stones and an abundance of various decorations. The choice is so great that the thought involuntarily comes to mind - are all these stones natural? Moreover, the price of products is very variable - from elite products to the most budgetary ones. If you ask this question to the seller, then, most likely, you can hear the answer that most of the gemstones for jewelry today are grown artificially.

Information of this kind can alienate a person who does not have information about the process of growing nanostones. This is not a fake, not a glass or an imitation. Today we will talk about nanoemerald.

Hydrothermal emerald is also called a nanocrystal, and it is fundamentally different from a natural mineral. Despite the considerable number of deposits where emeralds are mined, laboratories for growing artificial stones are thriving.

The most common minerals are small in size. Laboratory conditions allow you to create stones of any shape and size.

This production is quite profitable, since it uses emerald dust for cultivation, that is, very tiny crystals that cannot be used in standard jewelry. Thus, the production and processing of the mineral becomes practically waste-free. The nano-emerald looks very impressive: the cut is clear, the color is pure, beautiful.After all, there are no natural impurities in it. Unlike natural stone, it is quite flawless in appearance.

A high-quality artificial stone has been created for more than a month. Characteristics of hydrothermal emerald:

• color - rich green, shades may vary;
• there are brown and tubular impurities;
• glass type luster;
• resistant to sunlight and acids.

This production method makes it possible to obtain, indeed, high-quality synthetic minerals that are used in jewelry. They are perfectly transparent and look great in frames of silver, gold, platinum. Such an emerald is an absolute analogue of a natural one, it is neither a glass fake, nor a rhinestone.

Since the size of natural emeralds did not allow them to be actively used in jewelry, scientists have long thought about creating a high-quality imitation. Large stones were incredibly expensive due to their rarity as well. Scientists have set themselves the task of creating stones that, in terms of external characteristics, will not yield to natural specimens.... It took a long time to create a really clean, hard, shiny stone.... For the first time, the emerald was synthesized at the end of the 19th century by the scientists Hautephel and Perret. At the beginning of the 20th century, German laboratories began to actively use this experience and develop it, but the work was carried out under the heading "secret" until the middle of the 20th century.

Russian scientists under the leadership of A. Lebedev were also engaged in similar developments. As for the creation of the Colombian emerald, we owe this discovery to D. Fursenko and V. Thomas. After the production of synthetic emeralds was declassified in the 60s, laboratories began to be created all over the world. Today, production is very widespread, the technological process has been improved and allows you to get stones that are practically not inferior to natural ones.

Of course, the value of natural stones cannot be leveled, but the development of deposits and extraction is quite labor-intensive. To get a small amount of medium-sized stones, you have to process a huge amount of rocks. Therefore, it is obvious that an artificially grown emerald is cheaper for mankind, it is easier to create it. There are a number of benefits of nanoemeralds:

• hydrothermal stone is not afraid of direct sunlight and ultraviolet light, while natural emerald fades, becomes cloudy, loses its luster under its influence;
• nano-emerald has greater hardness and strength in comparison with natural, therefore, it is less susceptible to mechanical influence;
• since the production of stones is much less expensive than mining, respectively, the final price is much lower, while the natural emerald will be less perfect in appearance.

Connoisseurs of natural stones will never prefer nano-emerald to something that was created without human intervention.

First of all, you need to understand that nano-emerald is not a fake in terms of its qualities and properties. This is an analogue that is identical to natural in most of the signs:

• chemical composition;
• crystal lattice structure;
• appearance, purity, shine, colors.

Moreover, in many respects, the hydrothermal stone is ahead of its natural counterpart. They are more durable, there are no defects and cracks in them, leading to destructive consequences for the stone. Since stones of a deep, dark shade are welcomed in jewelry, nano-emeralds are mainly produced in a rich-dark range of greens. They are clean and transparent.

As for the magical and medicinal properties of the stone, there is an opinion that the artificially grown mineral does not possess them, since it was created by man.

What properties are endowed with a synthetic mineral:

• thanks to its purity, it brings success, making its owner more flawless;
• is able to improve the condition of people with disorders of the nervous system, heart problems;
• possesses calming properties, relieves aggression, irritability, balances the mental state;
• jewelry on the neck and chest can improve the condition of asthma sufferers, it can be a pendant, necklace, brooch;
• clears the space of negative energy, it is enough to hold the stone in each room of the house for at least 12 hours.

Remember, the darker the shade of nanoemerald, the more powerful it is.

As for the zodiacal effect, a hydrothermal stone, according to astrologers, is able to influence a person in the same way as a natural one. It is recommended to be worn by different signs of the zodiac, and each for a special reason. Astrological properties of nanoemerald:

• Aries career growth and monetary success;
• life force and energy to Taurus;
• protective properties from the negative effects of the evil energies of other people to Gemini;
• Aquarius and Pisces will bring success in all areas;
• Sagittarius and Capricorn will be able to relieve anxiety and get the long-awaited peace;
• harmony for Cancer, Virgo and Libra;
• strength to fight the Lions;
• make the character more positive and agreeable to Scorpio.

Astrologers strongly recommend that Virgo, Capricorn, Aries and Libra wear jewelry with nano-emerald.

A grown stone is a complete analogue of an emerald, which is not a copy or imitation of it. Emeralds are grown as a repetition of a natural stone, although inferior in value, but outwardly just as perfect.

The technology for creating nano stone consists of the following algorithm:

• cut natural stone;
• collecting the powder remaining after this process;
• mix aluminum and beryllium oxide, chromium, and other components with emerald dust;
• placed in an autoclave;
• then there is a process of chemical reactions catalyzed by temperature conditions;
• the contents of the vessel are crystallized in a special zone.

A little more than a month is spent on the whole process, while natural stone has been created by nature for thousands of years.

The technology for growing nano-emeralds is very difficult and requires the work of specialists who control all activities.

The main area of ​​application of synthetic emeralds is jewelry. Jewelers create a huge number of various jewelry with stones, setting them in silver, yellow and white gold. The most valuable are emeralds, decorated in platinum.

But chemicals can harm him, so before you start cleaning or other activities that require their use, you must remove all jewelry from yourself. Artificial emerald can be found in the following types of jewelry:

• rings and rings;
• earrings;
• pendants, beads, necklaces, pendants;
• bracelets.

To distinguish an outwardly artificial stone from a natural one, a specialist is often needed, since they have much in common in terms of properties and external characteristics. What differences can be found in nanoemeralds:

• inclusions of a tubular nature;
• admixture of brown;
• perfect shape;
• lack of defects;
• rich shade of greenery.

Natural emerald is rarely truly transparent; it has cracks, blotches, bubbles. When buying a product, you must be very careful, since not only natural, but also nanoemerald is counterfeited. You can buy glasses imitated for emeralds from scammers. It is easy to distinguish such a stone, since it is very fragile, any impact immediately leaves a trace, a scratch.
