Gemstone Beads Strand, Synthetic Turquoise, Round, Mixed color, 4mm, ~103 pcs

Shopping for precious and semi-precious stones is no longer a straightforward task due to the array of unfamiliar materials now available. Historical instances show that "treating" precious stones can enhance their appearance and properties. Today, the methods for manipulating and imitating precious stones have grown increasingly sophisticated. Crystals that replicate the chemistry, structure, and properties of naturally occurring stones are being cultivated. The assumption of a natural origin is no longer valid. Laboratories and factories around the globe are producing a remarkable variety of materials for the gemstone market. These artificial and treated materials introduce a vast array of products and prices to the market. Now, there are many more options available, but making an informed choice requires some basic knowledge. The term "synthetic" refers to man-made products whose chemical and physical properties overlap with those of the natural stones they aim to replicate. The discussion around the metaphysical properties of synthetic materials remains open. However, it’s understood that everything is energy, with each item carrying its charge and impact, perceptible to those attuned to it. Indeed, color alone can alter someone’s aura or mood. The stone that draws you in is your stone, the right choice for your creation, perfectly capturing your creative inspiration.
