4c’s To Verify The Real Gemstone
It is the very first and the most important information to determine whether the gemstone is worth its value or not? Let’s check a few of the most important factors that help you to check the stone. These are 4c’s to verify the real gemstone
Color: Their color should be vibrant, even and saturated all through the complete stone. Unevenness in color shows that the gemstone is artificial and synthetic. Color can be described in terms of:
Hue of a gemstone is the foremost and secondary color visible in a stone.
The tone is the impression of the intensity of the color perceived by the eye.
Saturation is the purity and intensity of the hue present.
The more the color varies from more to less range in terms of vividness, lighter or darker, the more precious is the gemstone.
Cut: Color of the gemstone will only enhance by a good cut, while a badly cut gemstone can turn out looking dull and lifeless. In gems, the deeper the cut, the deeper is the color.
Clarity: It should be checked first with the naked eye, then with 10X magnification to observe the inclusions or stains.
Gemstones are having 3 clarity types:
- Gemstones without inclusions (i.e Aquamarine).
- Form with reasonable inclusions (i.e Ruby and Sapphire).
- Always found with inclusions (i.e Emerald)
Carat: Carat is the traditional unit of measurement for gemstones, which is equal to approximately 0.2 grams.
1 Carat = 200 Milligrams
