Product description
Strand of faceted beads made from synthetic semi-precious stone TURQUOISE in the shape of a ball
Shopping for precious and semi-precious stones has become far from a simple task. We are faced with a multitude of new materials. Historical accidents in ancient times have shown that "treating" gemstones can enhance their appearance and properties. Today, the methods for manipulating and imitating gemstones have become increasingly complex. Crystals are being cultivated that duplicate the chemistry, structure, and properties of those found naturally. Natural origin is no longer a given. Laboratories and factories around the world are the source of an astonishing variety of materials sold in the gemstone market. These artificial and treated materials offer a vast range of products and prices. The jewelry buyer now has far more options but requires some basic knowledge to make an informed choice. The term "synthetic" refers to man-made products whose chemical and physical properties match those of the natural product they replicate. As for the metaphysical properties of synthetic materials, this remains an open discussion. What is known is that everything is energy; everything carries its own charge and impact. No one needs to tell you—you can feel this impact yourself. Isn’t color alone enough to change someone’s aura or mood? Any stone that draws you in is your stone, the right stone for your piece, the exact expression of your creative inspiration.
