How to distinguish a fake?
Unfortunately, counterfeits are not uncommon today. This is especially true for jewelry. Only an experienced jeweler can visually determine the authenticity of a stone.
However, knowing the unique physical properties of amber, any customer can check them:
- Natural amber, when rubbed or burned, gives off a faint resinous aroma. Synthetics have a pungent chemical odor.
- When rubbed, amber becomes negatively charged and attracts small pieces of paper.
- The color of the natural stone is uniform, it does not contain multiple inclusions of air bubbles.
- When scratched, a real gem crumbles into small fragments.
- When the UV lamp is on, the real gem will glow with a bluish glow.
- You can drop a drop of acetone or alcohol on the stone: if it became sticky, then it was digging, but not amber.
- In addition, scratches from a copper needle will not be visible on the copal, but it is better to protect amber from it.
